Bill > S2992

This bill, the Prioritizing Offensive Agricultural Disputes and Enforcement Act (Ag Disputes Act), aims to establish a joint task force to identify and address trade barriers that harm U.S. agricultural exports. The bill recognizes that a well-functioning, rules-based trading system is crucial for the success of U.S. agriculture, and that foreign governments erecting trade barriers can harm U.S. farmers, workers, and consumers. The bill specifically highlights India's agricultural price support programs as violating World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments and directs the task force to develop a plan for filing a WTO dispute against these programs. The task force is required to regularly report to Congress on its progress in identifying and addressing these trade barriers through WTO dispute settlement.
