<message>Broad tariffs on imports risk significant harm to American businesses and consumers through increased costs on imported materials, components, and finished goods. Higher costs may disrupt established supply chains companies rely on, reducing competitiveness even as the stated goal is strengthening the economy. Reconsideration is urged of sweeping tariffs in favor of more targeted approaches enhancing economic strength through strategic investment, fostering innovation, and developing resilient domestic supply chains - rather than broad protectionism. Trade disputes should be resolved through negotiation under existing international rules and frameworks instead of unilateral tariff actions risking escalating damaging trade conflicts with major trading partners. Priorities should focus on expanding market access abroad for exporters of US goods and services, not erecting new barriers that undermine economic growth.</message>
