(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 global 
trade. 
(2) The Coronavirus Disease (COVID–19) has 
severely disrupted global supply chains due to Chi-
na’s role as the main supplier of intermediate out-
puts for manufacturing companies around the world. 
A drop in the Chinese supply of these inputs nega-
tively impacts production for American manufactur-
ers. 
(3) COVID–19 has also depressed cargo vol-
umes at major ports in the United States and closed 
off certain foreign markets to American exporters. 
(4) Workers adversely impacted by these effects 
deserve access to trade adjustment assistance.
