Goods imported from Israel and Ukraine would be exempted from the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the executive order on trade deficits. The bill is short and straightforward — two countries, one exemption. The reasoning is that both are U.S. allies, and imposing trade penalties on them runs counter to the broader goal of supporting partner nations during a period of geopolitical tension.
