The resolution encourages the United States Congress to implement a trade policy that supports American businesses and workers while penalizing countries with high pollution levels, specifically China and Russia. It highlights the significant environmental disparities between goods produced in these countries and those made in the U.S., noting that products from China and Russia generate considerably more emissions. The resolution also addresses the economic challenges faced by rural Americans, including higher poverty rates and lower incomes compared to the national average, emphasizing the importance of manufacturing jobs in these communities.

By advocating for a trade policy that rewards U.S. firms for their environmental performance, the resolution aims to bolster domestic manufacturing, create well-paying jobs, and reduce reliance on imports from high-emission countries. It calls for accountability for global polluters and seeks to revitalize U.S. supply chains, particularly in rural areas, thereby promoting economic development and improving local infrastructure. The resolution concludes with a directive to share its adoption with relevant congressional leaders and Arkansas representatives.
