Senate committee to vote on bill banning Chinese automakers

1 min read

The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee is scheduled to vote on July 15 on bipartisan legislation from Senators Bernie Moreno and Elissa Slotkin that would codify a Biden administration regulation effectively banning Chinese automakers from selling passenger vehicles in the United States. The April proposal aims to harden the existing restriction and take further steps to prevent China from entering the U.S. light-duty vehicle market. If the committee approves the measure, it could advance for additional Senate consideration and possibly enshrine the executive rule into law, with implications for market access and U.S.-China trade dynamics.

The committee will vote July 15 to codify a ban on Chinese automakers.
