A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the proposed "joint interpretation" of Annex 14-C of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement prepared by United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai is of no legal effect with respect to the United States or any United States person unless it is approved by Congress.

This resolution says that a proposed interpretation of a part of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), prepared by Ambassador Katherine Tai, has no legal power unless Congress approves it. Specifically, it says no federal agency can use this interpretation in legal cases, and it cannot affect any legal claims made by a U.S. person. The part of the agreement in question deals with certain investment claims that were carried over from the older North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which the USMCA replaced.
