These tariffs will raise consumer prices and harm the American economy. Estimates show that nearly all of the costs from these sweeping tariffs will be passed onto American consumers and businesses through higher prices. Rather than reducing the trade deficit as intended, the tariffs are more likely to provoke retaliatory actions from other countries and lead to more economic harm. Repealing these misguided tariffs would provide much-needed relief for American families and businesses struggling with rising costs. We should pursue trade policies that grow our economy and create jobs, not raise taxes on Americans through higher consumer prices. For the good of our nation's economic strength and household budgets, I urge you to fight these tariffs.
