The resolution urges 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 struggles faced by rural Americans, emphasizing the need for a trade policy that fosters domestic manufacturing and job creation in these communities, which have been adversely affected by previous trade agreements.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for a trade policy that rewards U.S. firms for their environmental performance, thereby encouraging investment in American manufacturing and reducing reliance on imports from high-emission countries. It points out that the current trade policies have led to a loss of millions of jobs in the U.S., particularly in rural areas, and advocates for a shift that would hold foreign polluters accountable while promoting economic development and rebuilding supply chains within the United States. The resolution concludes with a directive to share its adoption with relevant congressional leaders and Arkansas representatives.
