The House Aerospace Caucus co-chair, and 23 other Republicans, are asking the administration to preserve zero tariffs for aerospace goods that have been in place since 1979 under the Civil Aircraft Agreement, and to push for more countries to pledge to allow imports of commercial aircraft and parts duty-free. (The U.S. is one of 58 countries that follow the agreement, though since the reciprocal tariffs were imposed, most aerospace imports outside Canada, Mexico and the U.K. are facing tariffs.)

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., said he would "love" if a provision his committee authored, to end de minimis for all commercial purposes in 2027, would make it into the Senate version of what Republicans call "One Big Beautiful Bill."

Rodney Scott, who once led the Border Patrol, was confirmed by the Senate to be the leader of CBP, on a 51-46 vote. All Republicans present voted for Scott, and no Democrats or independents did.

A bill that would create a criminal offense for "knowingly and recklessly importing high-risk agents, toxins or organisms" was introduced last week by Reps. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, and Josh Riley, D-N.Y.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., introduced a bill last week to end the Jones Act, which requires that U.S.-built and -crewed ships serve intra-U.S. shipments, including to Puerto Rico.

Senators and witnesses called for legislative action to combat imports of seafood caught with forced labor during a June 12 hearing.

Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., and Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., introduced a bill that would suspend tariffs on imported bicycle components for U.S. assembly operations.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., joined by the chairman and members of the House Select Committee on China, reintroduced a bill last week to hike tariffs on Chinese drones and use the funds to help police departments, utilities and farmers replace Chinese drones with domestic or ally-built aircraft.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that there would be $2.5 trillion collected in tariffs -- after accounting for consumer changes -- from 2025 to 2035 if the global 10% reciprocal tariff remained, de minimis was still curtailed, and tariffs on most Chinese products and on some Mexican and Canadian products, as well as 25% tariffs on the auto sector, steel and aluminum, continue during that period. (The estimate was prepared before the president doubled the tariffs on steel and aluminum.)

Joseph Barloon, who was a general counsel at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative during Donald Trump's first term, told Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., that he believes in rules-based trade.
