I understand your desire to end the sweeping tariffs imposed by the current administration. These measures are having severe economic consequences, disrupting global supply chains, driving up costs for businesses and consumers, and heightening the risk of a recession. Tariffs were historically meant to protect domestic industries, but in today's interconnected world economy, they are more likely to inflict harm through retaliatory actions and stifling free trade. We cannot remain on this destructive path of escalating trade wars and protectionism. I urge you to take immediate action to rescind these counterproductive tariffs. Prioritize negotiating new free trade agreements that eliminate barriers rather than erecting new ones. Embrace policies that foster economic growth through increased market access and investment, not those that raise prices and stifle competition. A flourishing economy requires open markets and economic engagement with nations across the globe. The far-reaching consequences of the current tariff policies necessitate a course correction. I implore you to act swiftly to terminate these harmful measures before further damage is inflicted on American workers, businesses, and the broader economy. Restoring faith in free and fair trade should be a top priority to maintain our economic leadership. The future prosperity of our nation depends on rejecting protectionism and re-embracing open market policies.
