What This Bill Does
Senator Risch has introduced an amendment to the annual defense authorization bill that would establish a task force to identify potential economic against Chinese entities in the event of aggression toward Taiwan. The proposal requires the government to develop a strategy for coordinating these sanctions with international allies and to report regularly to Congress on potential economic impacts.
This amendment, if enacted, would mandate that the Department of State and the Department of the Treasury create a formal framework for imposing economic on Chinese entities involved in actions against Taiwan, potentially impacting global financial markets and international trade relations.
