This has been on the floor for a while unfortunately because I was focussing more on the pandemic. I have an amendment:

Quote
Support Our Steelworkers Act of 2020

House Bill
to temporarily prohibit the importation of certain iron and steel articles.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Republic of Atlasia in Congress assembled,
Quote
SECTION 1. TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “Support Our Steelworkers Act of 2020”.

SECTION 2. DUTIES PROHIBITION ON THE IMPORTATION OF STEEL PRODUCTS.

For the 5-year period beginning on the 15th day after the date of the enactment of this Act, any article classified under chapter 72 or 73 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule may not enter the customs territory of the Republic of Atlasia.
(a) A permanent tariff rate of 5% shall be imposed on the importation of any article classified under chapter 72 or 73 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
(b) The President may increase this tariff rate to up to 15% on specific countries deemed to be engaging in unfair trade practices for up to 150 days.
 (i) The President must obtain congressional authorisation to extend an increase of tariffs under Part B beyond 150 days.

SECTION 3. IMPLEMENTATION

(a) This bill shall take effect on the January 1st 2021.

I support the Speaker's amendment to this bill. It's quite more reasonable than the original text.

I object to section 2a of the amended bill and believe it should be scrapped entirely

Object because I don't think the president should on a whim be allowed to declare a 30% tariff, the aim behind my amendment was to have a small permanent tariff that would support Atlasian steel workers in the long term that could be increased in specific cases.

I fully support this bill and will continue to do so in the Senate. Atlasian workers need to be protected from imported cheap steel that undercuts domestic steel and costs steelworkers their jobs.
