These destructive tariffs will cripple our economy and place an enormous burden on American families. Imposing taxes of up to 54% on imports from nations like China and Vietnam is economically reckless and will drive up costs for consumers across the board. Experts warn that this $6 trillion tariff scheme essentially amounts to a massive regressive sales tax that will disproportionately harm middle and lower income households. Furthermore, the justification of these tariffs as "reciprocal" is a sham - the numbers are based not on actual foreign tariff rates, but simply our trade deficits divided in half. This makes no economic sense. At a time of high inflation, the last thing American families need is a policy that will further increase costs and squeeze household budgets. I urge you to take immediate action to stop this economically devastating plan that will harm American consumers and businesses alike.
