Tariffs have repeatedly proven to be an ineffective and detrimental economic policy. The proposed tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China will inflict significant harm on American businesses and consumers. History has shown that trade wars lead to higher prices, job losses, and reduced economic growth. Pursuing protectionist policies under the guise of protecting domestic industries will ultimately hurt the very workers and companies they claim to defend. Free and fair trade agreements that eliminate barriers are essential for a healthy, competitive global economy that benefits all nations involved. I urge you to reconsider this misguided tariff strategy and instead focus efforts on negotiating mutually beneficial trade deals.
