To prohibit entities integral to the national interests of the United States from participating in any foreign sustainability due diligence regulation, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive of the European Union, and for other purposes.
Summary
HR9385 is an early-stage, symbolic bill prohibiting certain U.S. entities from complying with foreign sustainability due diligence rules like the EU CSDDD. It has no funding, no penalties, and no enforcement mechanism. With only a single referral to committees and a first-term sponsor, market impact is negligible. Affected energy tickers ($XOM, $CVX, $COP) face zero near-term revenue risk due to the bill's lack of statutory teeth.

- 2.Affected energy tickers ($XOM, $CVX, $COP) face no direct revenue impact; the bill is legislative theater with no market teeth.
- 3.With only a single sponsor and referral to two committees, this bill has a near-zero probability of enactment in the 119th Congress.
Market Implications
No market implications from this bill. Major energy integrateds (, , $COP) are unaffected. The EU CSDDD compliance landscape remains unchanged. Investors should dismiss this as a non-event.
Full Analysis
-
On June 22, 2026, Rep. Fitzgerald (R-WI-5) introduced HR9385, a bill that would ban entities deemed 'integral to the national interests of the United States' from participating in foreign sustainability due diligence regulations, specifically citing the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The bill has been referred to both the House Energy and Commerce and Judiciary Committees. As of June 23, 2026, no hearings, markups, or committee votes have occurred. The bill is at the earliest possible legislative stage.
-
The bill authorizes ZERO funding. It is a pure prohibition measure — it does not create any spending program, tax credit, grant, or penalty. There is no money trail to follow because no dollars are authorized or appropriated. The bill would, if enacted, create a legal conflict between U.S. law and EU regulatory requirements, but actual enforcement would require subsequent legislation or executive action.
-
Structural winners and losers: There are no clear winners or losers from this bill in its current form. The affected tickers are major integrated energy companies with EU exposure — (ExxonMobil, $344.6B revenue), (Chevron, $196.9B revenue), and $COP (ConocoPhillips, $48.5B revenue) — but the bill contains no penalties for non-compliance with the prohibition. Without enforcement, the practical effect is political signaling. The EU CSDDD itself imposes due diligence obligations on companies with EU operations; a U.S. blocking statute could create legal uncertainty, but compliance risks for these firms are already material under EU law, and the U.S. prohibition provides no financial offset.
-
Real market data: No real market data was provided for stock prices. However, the bill's negligible market impact is confirmed by its early stage, lack of co-sponsors, lack of funding, and referral to two committees — a typical procedural step that stalls most introduced bills.
-
Timeline: The bill's path requires committee hearings and votes in both Energy & Commerce and Judiciary, followed by House floor consideration, Senate passage (no companion bill identified), and presidential action. Given the 119th Congress is in its second session (2026), the window for passage is narrowing. Without committee leadership sponsorship or multiple co-sponsors, the probability of enactment this year is extremely low.

What the bill does
Same prohibition applies to ConocoPhillips as a U.S. entity integral to national interests; no specified penalty.
Who must act
ConocoPhillips (global E&P operator with EU operations in Norway and UK).
What happens
ConocoPhillips would be prohibited from participating in EU sustainability due diligence, but the bill does not carry enforcement provisions or penalties for non-compliance with the prohibition.
Stock impact
ConocoPhillips' European operations (Norway, UK) could face EU-level compliance risks if they ignore EU rules, but the U.S. ban has no direct revenue impact.

Adjusting Imports of Polysilicon and its Derivatives into the United States
This proclamation invokes Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act to impose a minimum import price (MIP) program on polysilicon and its derivatives, a 15% ad valorem tariff on polysilicon derivatives, and directs the Secretary of Commerce to offer incentives for domestic production. It aims to protect and revive the U.S. polysilicon industry by restricting imports that threaten national security, particularly for semiconductor and solar supply chains.
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 101 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Recoverable Critical Minerals and Materials
This memorandum invokes the Defense Production Act (DPA) Section 101 to declare that recoverable critical minerals and materials (such as black mass, end-of-life rare-earth magnets, and scrap) are essential to national defense and that the U.S. cannot meet defense needs without disrupting civilian markets. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to issue regulations and take actions—including priority contracts and supply-chain interventions—to rapidly expand domestic recovery and processing of these materials, while explicitly excluding copper scrap already covered by a separate proclamation.
Further Strengthening Actions Taken to Adjust Imports of Aluminum into the United States
This proclamation modifies the Section 232 tariff regime on aluminum imports by authorizing the Secretary of Commerce to establish a program that incentivizes new U.S. investment in primary aluminum production. Companies with approved onshoring plans can import primary aluminum at half the standard Section 232 duty rate, up to the anticipated annual output of their new or expanded facilities, with construction required to start by January 20, 2029. The action aims to boost domestic primary aluminum supply for national security and defense industrial base needs.
