Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., by unanimous consent with little fanfare last week, tacking it onto the fiscal 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. Senators are still considering additional amendments to the NDAA, and a final vote is expected later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWisconsin has a proud tradition of shipbuilding, producing world-class products made by American workers that defend our freedom at home and abroad,\u201d Baldwin said in a statement after the amendment passed last week.<b> <\/b>\u201cBy strengthening Buy America requirements for our shipbuilding industry, we can ensure that taxpayer dollars are not only going toward keeping us safe, but also supporting American jobs, growing our economy, and maintaining a defense industrial base that is critical to our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her bill would require that the 65% of components for all Navy ships are \u201cmanufactured substantially all from articles, materials or supplies mined, produced or manufactured\u201d in the U.S. starting in 2026. That figure jumps to 75% in 2028 and 100% in 2033.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would allow the defense secretary to wave those requirements under certain circumstances, including to expand production to Canada, Britain, Australia or New Zealand or if the Buy American requirements increase the total acquisition cost beyond 25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baldwin is up for reelection next year in Wisconsin, a battleground state. Wisconsin is home to the Fincantieri Marinette Marine shipyard as well as Fairbanks Morse, a manufacturing company that builds engines for naval vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Baldwin\u2019s Buy American provision, Naval ships that use engines from countries like South Korea, Japan, Finland, Germany and Italy would eventually need to be built with engines sourced in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proponents of Buy American laws argue that they strengthen the industrial base by ensuring a steady stream of work for U.S. suppliers. Still, the U.S. has struggled to keep apace with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/06\/13\/key-lawmakers-flex-new-positions-to-bolster-shipbuilding-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\">shipbuilding goals amid significant labor shortages<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colin Grabow, a senior fellow at the libertarian-leaning Cato institute, argued that Baldwin\u2019s bill could further complicate an already constrained shipbuilding industrial base by eliminating foreign suppliers while inviting trade retaliation from U.S. allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Taking away options\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis will make naval shipbuilding more difficult and expensive,\u201d said Grabow. \u201cWe\u2019re taking away options. We\u2019re narrowing the choices and that just inevitably results in higher costs and extended options.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He suggested the U.S. could go in the \u201copposite direction\u201d and integrate more with U.S. allies on shipbuilding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJapan and South Korea are two of the biggest shipbuilder countries in the world, and the naval vessels they\u2019re producing for their navies are a fraction of the cost of our own,\u201d said Grabow. \u201cMaybe there are some lessons to be learned there. Maybe we should use some of their shipyards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/the-americas\/2021\/11\/01\/buy-american-biden-sees-industry-pushback-as-allies-warn-of-trade-consequences\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Biden signed a 2021 executive order during his first month in office to bolster Buy American requirements<\/a> for federal contractors. The Pentagon is shielded from many of those requirements due to several exemptions, including defense trade agreements with 27 other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former President Donald Trump also emphasized Buy American policies as part of his \u201cAmerica First\u201d agenda, signing his own executive actions in 2017. He toured Wisconsin\u2019s Fincantieri Marinette Marine shipyard during his failed 2020 reelection campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate unanimously passed
