(1) In recognition that trade policy can result 
in disparate and disruptive changes to the economy, 
the Trade Adjustment Assistance program was en-
acted to help workers adversely impacted by the 
trade policy decisions of the Federal Government. 
(2) The Trump Administration has made clear 
that it intends to aggressively use Federal trade 
statutes, including section 232 of the Trade Expan-
sion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862), section 301 of 
the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2411), and poten-
tially the International Emergency Economic Powers 
Act (Public Law 95–223), to increase tariffs on se-
lected imports. 
(3) Foreign countries affected by such tariff in-
creases have, as of the date of the enactment of this 
Act, already raised tariffs on United States agricul-
tural exports or have indicated that they intend to 
respond by raising tariffs on such agricultural ex-
ports. 
(4) Increased tariffs on such agricultural ex-
ports threaten to cost United States agricultural 
producers global market share and reduce the in-
come of producers of affected commodities. 
(5) Farmers adversely impacted by these effects 
deserve adjustment assistance.
