Amazon and other retailers are opposing a bipartisan measure that would require online sellers to clearly state where their products are made, a rule proponents say could help consumers seeking U.S.-made goods.
The measure, backed by a bipartisan vote in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, is part of a broad legislative package aimed at boosting U.S. competitiveness versus China. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is pushing to pass the package, called the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act, as soon as this week, although Democrats and Republicans are still racing to make revisions.
