ND HCR3009

Urges the federal government to enact trade policies holding high-polluting countries like China and Russia accountable for carbon emissions and to bolster domestic extraction and production

Cites that China accounts for one-third of global emissions and controls 85% of global critical mineral processing capacity, while goods from China and Russia generate 300% and 400% more carbon emissions respectively than U.S.-produced equivalents

Claims federal environmental policies blocking resource development on North Dakota public lands have reduced state revenue by an estimated $1.2 billion and forced the U.S. to import over 80% of critical minerals from foreign sources

Asserts the U.S. economy is 44% more carbon efficient than the world average and has eliminated more emissions than any other country in the last 15 years

Directs the Secretary of State to forward copies of the resolution to the President, congressional leadership, and North Dakota's congressional delegation
