The UNITED Act would direct the President to seek trade negotiations with the United Kingdom within 180 days. It would allow the President to enter a comprehensive trade agreement by March 1, 2029, subject to limits on changing tariffs. The bill requires consultation with Congress and sets procedures for Congress to consider an agreement. It also requires the negotiations to follow specified trade goals and oversight rules, and says an agreement must respect the Good Friday Agreement.
The bill would authorize negotiations but would not itself create a trade agreement or change tariffs. Any agreement would need to follow the bill’s requirements and be considered by Congress.
