No tariffs on Canada and Mexico!

The imposition of steep 25% tariffs on imports from longstanding allies Mexico and Canada is deeply concerning. Such unilateral trade actions risk sparking retaliatory tariffs and a trade war that will ultimately harm American workers, businesses, and consumers. Targeting our closest neighbors and partners with punitive tariffs is an unwise and counterproductive approach. Rather than escalating tensions through tariffs, we should be working cooperatively with Mexico and Canada to address issues like illegal cross-border drug trafficking through diplomacy and law enforcement cooperation. Tariffs are a blunt instrument that will disrupt integrated North American supply chains and raise costs for U.S. manufacturers and consumers. I urge you to reconsider this misguided tariff plan and instead pursue a collaborative strategy that strengthens economic ties and security partnerships across North America. Alienating allies through hostile trade actions undermines our shared economic and strategic interests in the region. There are more effective ways to work with our North American partners on mutual challenges without resorting to destructive tariff policies.
