The administration's protectionist trade policies, including proposed tariffs on automobiles and automotive parts, threaten to disrupt supply chains, raise costs for consumers, and depress sales in Michigan's crucial auto industry. This could lead to severe economic consequences for our state's manufacturing sector and its workers. We urge you to firmly request that President Trump cancel his planned visit to Macomb County on April 29th. His presence risks co-opting this occasion to advance an agenda detrimental to Michigan's interests. Instead of allowing a platform that could enable policies jeopardizing our state's economy, we ask that you deny him this opportunity and make clear that Michigan's priorities lie in protecting its manufacturing backbone and workforce.
