Abandon misguided tariff plan harming American economic interests

To: Sen. Luján, Rep. Vasquez, Pres. Trump, Sen. Heinrich

From: A constituent in Albuquerque, NM

April 3

Here is a draft message against the proposed tariffs: The imposition of sweeping new tariffs across all imported goods will severely undermine the U.S. economy and American consumers. Tariffs are taxes paid by American businesses and passed on to customers through higher prices. Rather than creating jobs and reviving domestic manufacturing as intended, these tariffs will stunt economic growth, cause rampant inflation, and place an excessive burden on working families already struggling with the high cost of living. Before enacting policies that could trigger a global trade war and recession, we urge the administration to reconsider this destructive path. Protectionist measures disrupt global supply chains that U.S. businesses rely upon and invite retaliation from our trading partners, jeopardizing American exports and jobs. There are better ways to address legitimate trade grievances through negotiation and cooperation with our allies. We ask that you abandon this misguided tariff plan that will harm American economic interests and focus instead on pro-growth policies that expand free and fair trade. Prosperity is achieved through open markets and increased competitiveness, not through government-imposed barriers that raise costs for businesses and consumers alike.
