KCII News spoke with U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley about the China Trade Cheating Restitution Act and how it impacts Iowa’s and America’s farmers. “There’s money that we have collected from China, through tariffs, where China has unfairly broken international trade laws. And will make that, make sure that that money is distributed among the family farmers that have been hurt as a result of the actions of China.” The bipartisan bill would ensure that agricultural sectors most affected by China’s evasion of anti-dumping duties receive an estimated $38.5 million in accrued delinquency interest on duties wrongfully withheld by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) from 2000-2014.
