May 11 (Reuters) - Two members of the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday will introduce legislation ‌to toughen a U.S. government ban on Chinese automakers from ‌entering ​the American ⁠market just ⁠before President Donald Trump heads to China for talks.

The legislation would codify a ‌regulation imposed by the Biden administration that effectively ⁠bans all Chinese automakers from selling passenger vehicles ⁠in ‌the U.S. ⁠and take other ​steps ‌to prevent ​China from ⁠entering the U.S. light-duty market.

Representatives John Moolenaar, a Republican, and Debbie Dingell, a Democrat, are introducing the legislation after a version was introduced in the Senate last month by Republican ​Bernie Moreno ⁠and Democrat Elissa Slotkin.
