This bill proposes to immediately end all tariffs established under Executive Orders 14257 and 14326 on products from 40 specific Indo-Pacific countries and jurisdictions. Representative Jill Tokuda, a Democrat from Hawaii, introduced the bill. It has been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, which is where it currently awaits further review and consideration.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on November 21, 2025, and has since been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. Before it can be considered by the full House for a vote, it must first be reviewed and potentially amended by this committee. There are no known dates for committee hearings or votes at this time.
If this bill becomes law, tariffs on items from countries like Japan, South Korea, India, and Vietnam would cease. This could lead to lower costs for consumers on a variety of imported products and reduce expenses for U.S. businesses that import goods from these regions. The bill also states that these tariffs undermine U.S. goals of collaborating with allies and inflict costs on U.S. consumers and businesses.
Supporters Say
Supporters believe ending these tariffs strengthens alliances, reduces costs for Americans, and counteracts China's influence.
Critics Say
The bill text does not detail arguments from critics against this measure.
The bill explicitly states that imposing tariffs on Indo-Pacific allies and partners undermines efforts to collectively defend against the Chinese Communist Party's economic actions. It argues these tariffs inflict costs on U.S. consumers and businesses, making their repeal beneficial for America's security and economic needs. The bill text does not include specific arguments or viewpoints from those who might oppose terminating these tariffs.
