Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a system to compensate American workers and businesses that have been harmed by unfair foreign trade practices, such as when other countries illegally subsidize their exports or dump cheap products on the U.S. market. The money for these payments would likely come from tariffs or penalties collected from countries found to be cheating on trade rules. Workers who lost jobs and companies that lost business due to these unfair practices could potentially receive financial restitution to help offset their losses.
