Imposing tariffs on imported goods raises prices for American consumers and businesses, undermining economic growth and prosperity. Tariffs act as taxes paid by consumers through inflated costs on everyday products. They disrupt supply chains, stifling innovation and job creation across numerous sectors. History shows protectionist trade policies lead to retaliatory actions, harming American exporters and farmers. To safeguard the financial well-being of working families and maintain our nation's competitive edge, I urge the reconsideration of tariffs in favor of fair, barrier-free trade that benefits all Americans.
