These tariffs will have severe economic consequences for American families and businesses. Raising prices on imported goods will drive up costs for consumers and disrupt global supply chains, likely prompting retaliatory actions from trading partners. This protectionist approach risks sparking a trade war that could plunge the nation into recession and undo years of economic progress. The declaration of a bogus national emergency to impose these tariffs is an abuse of executive power that undermines Congress' constitutional authority over trade policy. I urge you to take immediate action to terminate this purported emergency and block implementation of these destructive tariffs. Allowing the president to unilaterally upend long-standing trade agreements jeopardizes America's economic security and standing in the world. Ohioans cannot afford to bear the brunt of misguided policies driven by political motivations rather than economic rationale. Rein in this reckless overreach and reassert Congress' trade responsibilities before irreparable harm is inflicted.
