Blocks ships from ports where foreign governments seize American-owned land or property.
This bill would stop ships from entering U.S. ports if they come from certain foreign ports where American-owned land has been taken by that country's government. It would also make it easier for the U.S. to take trade action against foreign countries that seize American property or treat American businesses unfairly.
Today, U.S. trade law doesn't specifically list foreign government actions like seizing American-owned property or treating American businesses unfairly as reasons for trade enforcement. Also, there are no specific bans on vessels from foreign ports where American-owned land has been taken. If this bill becomes law, U.S. trade law would explicitly cover these actions, and the U.S. government would identify foreign ports where American-owned land has been seized since January 1, 2024. Vessels from these identified ports would then be banned from importing goods, docking passenger ships, or getting repairs in the United States.
