; Whereas United States trade agreements such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement, and the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement include clear standards for labor and environmental rights and rules of origin; Whereas GSP does not include any standards for environmental protection under its eligibility criteria for beneficiary developing countries; Whereas while Haiti is also a beneficiary under GSP, its textile industry is heavily dependent on exports to the United States under the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA) and the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement Act; Whereas adding textile and apparel to GSP would diminish the preferences Haiti receives under the CBTPA; Whereas China, while not GSP-eligible, would indirectly benefit from a GSP expansion because it is a major supplier of textile and apparel component parts to numerous beneficiary countries under GSP, with 36 percent of China’s global textile exports being shipped currently to GSP nations; Whereas the United States has a strong interest in supporting trade and investment with sub-Saharan Africa beyond the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which is scheduled to terminate in 2025; Whereas AGOA has provided duty-free treatment for essentially all goods from eligible sub-Saharan African countries with the goal of leveraging expanded trade and investment to promote economic development and poverty alleviation across the continent while strengthening United States-Africa economic ties; Whereas AGOA’s apparel imports from sub-Saharan Africa have risen from $355,000,000 in 2000, to $1,400,000,000 in 2019, generating an estimated 1,300,000 new garment jobs in Africa, yet still representing less than 2 percent of global United States apparel imports of $83,800,000,000 in 2019
