Trade Agreements Act

The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) is a U.S. law that aims to promote fair trade by ensuring that federal government purchases come from countries that have trade agreements with the U.S. or from the U.S. itself. It prevents the government from buying products made in countries that do not have such agreements, helping to support domestic manufacturing and protect American jobs. The TAA outlines which countries qualify and sets standards for how products are sourced, ensuring that taxpayer funds are spent in a way that promotes international trade relations and economic fairness.
