Trump's tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China will significantly increase costs for American consumers and businesses. These sweeping tariffs of 25% on goods from our largest trading partners will drive up prices on a wide range of consumer products like food, cars, clothing, and gasoline. The damage goes beyond higher costs - the tariffs disrupt vital supply chains, forcing many businesses to raise prices or cut jobs. Estimates show hundreds of thousands of American jobs could be lost due to these unilateral tariffs. Instead of following established legal processes, Trump is abusing presidential emergency powers to impose the tariffs without Congressional oversight - a dangerous precedent that undermines our system of checks and balances. No president should have unchecked authority to singlehandedly upend the U.S. economy. I urge you to take action to rein in this overreach of executive power and block implementation of Trump's reckless tariff policies that will harm American workers and families. Reclaiming Congressional authority over tariffs is crucial to preventing severe economic fallout.
