Supporting American Allies Act

Introduced: Jun 4, 2025

Economy & Taxes

Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

The Supporting American Allies Act would exempt all articles imported from Israel and Ukraine from the duties imposed under a specific executive order that creates reciprocal tariffs to address large and persistent U.S. goods trade deficits. In practical terms, if this bill becomes law, imports from Israel and Ukraine would not be subject to the reciprocal tariffs enacted by that executive order, reducing or eliminating those duties for goods from these two countries. The bill is currently introduced and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means; its sponsors are Mr. Moskowitz (with several co-sponsors).

Key Points

1Short title: The bill is named the “Supporting American Allies Act.”
2Core exemption: Duties imposed under the referenced executive order would not apply to any article imported from Israel or Ukraine.
3Scope: The exemption applies to “any article” imported from either country, i.e., broad coverage of goods.
4Legislative status: Introduced in the House of Representatives, referred to the Committee on Ways and Means; sponsors include Mr. Moskowitz and several others.
5Relationship to the executive order: The bill does not repeal the executive order; it creates a targeted statutory exemption for imports from Israel and Ukraine.

Impact Areas

Primary group/area affected- Importers and industries that rely on goods from Israel and Ukraine would avoid the reciprocal tariffs, potentially lowering costs and prices for those imported goods.- U.S. consumers and downstream manufacturers could see changes in prices and supply chain costs related to these imports.Secondary group/area affected- Israel and Ukraine: strengthens economic ties and reduces tariff barriers for their exports to the U.S.- Domestic producers facing competition from imports from these countries may face less tariff protection, potentially affecting their competitiveness.Additional impacts- U.S. tariff revenue: potential decrease in revenue collected from reciprocal tariffs on imports from Israel and Ukraine.- Trade policy signaling and geopolitics: reinforces U.S. support for Israel and Ukraine; could influence broader tariff policy debates and bilateral trade relations.- Administration and enforcement: requires ongoing administration of import classifications to ensure imports are properly identified as coming from Israel or Ukraine to apply the exemption.
