The UNITED Act would direct the President to seek trade negotiations with the United Kingdom within 180 days of enactment. It would allow the President to enter a comprehensive trade agreement by March 1, 2029, subject to limits on changing tariffs and requirements to consult and notify Congress. The agreement would also have to meet specified trade objectives and oversight procedures. Congress would need to expressly approve any decision to end, suspend, or waive the agreement for the United States.
If enacted, the act could lead to negotiations about trade barriers affecting industries, products, and services. It does not itself create a trade agreement or guarantee changes to trade rules. Any agreement would be subject to the bill’s limits and congressional procedures.

The bill states that a comprehensive agreement could support economic prospects, strengthen supply chains, encourage cooperation in emerging technologies, and create export opportunities. It also says an agreement should respect the Good Friday Agreement and advance peace, stability, and prosperity in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
