AK SJR19

Supports U.S. trade policies that hold China, Russia, and other countries accountable for environmental and labor standards while rewarding superior environmental performance.

Asserts that China's dominance in global supply chains for critical minerals threatens U.S. economic security and that most Alaska minerals are sent to China for refining before being repurchased by the U.S.

Claims goods produced in China and Russia generate 300-400 percent more carbon emissions respectively compared to equivalent U.S.-produced goods, while the U.S. economy is 44 percent more carbon-efficient than the world average.

Advocates for trade policies that level the playing field so U.S. businesses and workers are not penalized for maintaining high environmental standards and clean manufacturing practices.

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan and U.S. Representative Mary Peltola.
