Bill overview
This resolution commemorates the 95th anniversary of the Tariff Act of 1930, also known as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. The resolution acknowledges that this act, which raised tariffs on imported goods, is considered a significant factor in the onset of the Great Depression due to retaliatory tariffs and decreased international trade. It highlights the importance of open and rules-based trade policies to foster economic growth and avoid repeating past economic mistakes.
