Use tariff revenue to help affected U.S. businesses keep jobs at home

James proposed using part of federal tariff revenue to expand domestic production and provide temporary assistance to U.S. businesses that can show tariff-related economic harm. His TRADE Act would require recipients to keep production and employment in the United States and use the aid for purposes such as payroll, training or domestic investment. It would bar spending on buybacks, dividends, executive-pay increases or moving production abroad, with repayment requirements for fraud or violations.

Context: Official October 8, 2026 release describes a Tuesday introduction; the exact statement/event date is unresolved. The proposal is H.R. 10759, not an enacted benefit or a gubernatorial platform.

In their own words

providing targeted, temporary assistance to U.S. businesses that demonstrate actual tariff-related economic injury.
