Stefanik, R-N.Y.) would (1) impose a new tariff on unmanned aircraft from China starting at 30 percent and increasing by five percent annually, (2) require imported drones to meet strengthened rules of origin by 2030 to ensure that critical components are not sourced from China, and (3) establish a revenue-neutral grant program that will help first responders, critical infrastructure providers, and farmers purchase drones manufactured and assembled in the U.S. or allied countries.
Seafood. H.R. 3706 (introduced June 4 by Rep. Babin, R-Texas) would require the Department of Commerce to develop a standard methodology for identifying the country of origin of seafood to support enforcement against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.
