## Summary

**Centers U.S. trade policy on workers, domestic production, and environmental enforcement.** This resolution would push future trade agreements to include binding labor and environmental standards, strict rules of origin, and enforcement tools to stop offshoring and protect American jobs. - Workers and families: Would require fair wage guarantees across manufacturing, food processing, call centers, and back-office work, plus facility-level enforcement and international labor grant programs to raise standards. - Farmers and rural communities: Would require country-of-origin labeling, protect independent and family farmers with targeted subsidy rules and anti-monopoly measures, and affirm a sovereign right to set food safety standards. - Businesses, medicines, and technology: Would condition tariff preferences on meeting a wage floor, treat IP theft and forced technology transfer as trade violations, exclude investor‑state dispute settlement, and prioritize affordable medicine and domestic drug production and price negotiation.
