Some U.S.-linked companies would not be allowed to follow certain foreign rules on environmental and social risks in their supply chains. The bill also gives them legal protection if others punish them for refusing to follow those rules.

PROTECT USA Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Latest action on S. 985: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects U.S.-linked companies that do federal business and work in extraction, manufacturing, defense production, critical minerals, fossil fuels, or related by-products. It also affects their foreign subsidiaries, business partners, lenders, and anyone else who might pressure them to follow foreign sustainability due diligence rules. Foreign governments and courts could also feel the impact because the bill limits how their rules and judgments reach covered companies in the United States.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change which rules major U.S.-linked companies follow when they operate across borders. Some companies may face a choice between access to foreign markets and U.S. limits on following foreign sustainability rules. The bill could reduce foreign legal pressure on covered companies, but it could also create conflict with trading partners. Its real impact would depend on future foreign rules, presidential exemption decisions, and whether Congress later allows any foreign judgments to be enforced.
