Democrats seek to tackle climate change with import-tax
By Naomi Jagoda and Zack Budryk - 07/18/21 08:00 AM EDT

Democrats are eyeing a tax on imports from countries that don’t have strong policies aimed at combating climate change, seeking to include such a tax in a wide-ranging spending package that could pass without Republican votes.

A senior Democratic aide said that the $3.5 trillion budget deal key Senate Democrats reached Tuesday would propose “polluter import fees,” but did not include any further specifics.

Carbon border taxes is an idea that is increasingly getting interest from policymakers across the globe, with the European Union proposing a similar idea this week.

But Democratic lawmakers still have to determine how exactly they want to design an import-tax proposal, and they have a long way to go before such a policy is a reality in the United States.

Democrats are seeking to pass a large spending bill later this year without any Republican votes, and climate-related provisions are expected to be a key part of that.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

So, is there a China-only exception in these rules?
