Rein in reckless tariffs damaging US economy, allies

The Trump administration's tariffs on our top trading partners Mexico and Canada, as well as additional tariffs on China, will have severe negative consequences for American consumers and businesses. These import taxes will drive up prices on a wide range of essential goods like food, cars, and clothing, squeezing budgets for working families. The tariffs will disrupt complex supply chains, raise costs for businesses operating across borders, and potentially put hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk according to analysis. Both Canada and Mexico have already announced retaliatory tariffs in response, which could escalate into a damaging trade war. Rather than following the usual legal process with Congressional oversight, President Trump is abusing emergency economic powers to unilaterally force through these tariffs - an alarming overreach of executive authority. No president should have unchecked power to single-handedly disrupt the American economy in this way. I urge you to take immediate action to rein in this reckless abuse of trade policy that will harm American consumers, workers, and businesses while damaging our critical economic relationships with longstanding allies. Congress must assert its constitutional authority over trade and foreign policy by blocking implementation of these destructive tariffs through legislative means.
