Plain-English Summary
This bill would give the federal government stronger tools to identify and punish foreign countries and companies that engage in unfair trade practices, such as stealing intellectual property, dumping cheap goods on the U.S. market, or breaking trade agreements. The law would likely increase penalties and speed up investigations into these violations, affecting American workers and businesses that compete against unfair foreign competition. It could also expand the government's authority to impose tariffs or other trade restrictions on countries found to be cheating.
