No bill named the End the Offshoring Act was ever introduced in Congress during either Trump term; congress.gov shows no such administration measure, and the promised statute targeting companies that lay off U.S. workers to relocate abroad never materialized. Tariffs serving the promise's stated mechanism were nonetheless established by executive action: in June 2018 the administration imposed 25% Section 301 duties on roughly $50 billion of Chinese imports, and on April 2, 2025 Executive Order 14257 imposed a 10% baseline tariff on imports from nearly all countries, expressly citing the hollowing out of U.S. manufacturing. The tariff tool was delivered administratively, but not the promised offshoring-specific legislation.
