Pacific Islands countries could get special trade benefits from the U.S.
This bill would let the U.S. offer special trade treatment for certain goods imported from Pacific Islands countries. It aims to help these nations overcome economic challenges like isolation and natural disasters. The bill would also create programs to boost trade and help negotiate future free trade agreements.
Today, imports from Pacific Islands countries do not receive the specific preferential trade treatment outlined in this bill. If this bill becomes law, the President would be authorized to provide special trade benefits for certain imports from eligible Pacific Islands countries, establish a trade facilitation and capacity building program, and develop a plan for negotiating free trade agreements with these countries.
