Time for America to Declare Independence from Europe Again
Congress should make it equally clear that the rules governing American businesses will be written by elected representatives in the U.S. — not by bureaucrats in Brussels.
When the United States declared independence, Europe projected power through armies and navies. Today, it rules through regulation.
As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Congress has a rare opportunity to remind the world that our laws are written in Washington and state capitals — not in Brussels.
This Tuesday, the House will take up legislation preventing European bureaucrats from imposing punitive climate mandates on American businesses.
The bill targets the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, a sweeping regulatory armada projected to saddle American companies with over $1 trillion in compliance costs. Enacted by the European Parliament in 2024, the CS3D’s staggering price tag rivals the total regulatory burden existing environmental and financial regulations impose on American businesses combined.
