Senators Bernie Moreno (R) and Elissa Slotkin (D) are backing a permanent legislative ban on Chinese cars in the United States, using a fast-track procedure that requires unanimous Senate approval (SCMP, September 24). The senators agreed on Thursday, September 24, to delay their push for approval until the following week in order to seek the support of a lone holdout senator (SCMP, September 24). The delay coincided with President Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping (SCMP, September 24). This is an ongoing legislative effort likely to recur in coverage as the bill proceeds or stalls, with relevance to US-China trade relations and the domestic auto industry.
