A group of Democrats asked President Trump to withdraw tariffs in Canada and Mexico before they can be implemented.
“As a member of the Houseways and Means Committee, we encourage them to withdraw their full customs orders on imports from Canada and Mexico before they come into effect,” the Democrat group said. I said this in last week's letter.
“The use of tariffs as a negotiation tip to solve non-trade issues is counterproductive to the goal of energizing manufacturing and regaining American employment,” the group added. “The happiness of American workers, families and businesses should never be gambled to earn political points.”
This letter was signed by House Representatives of the Us Virgin Islands, Stacey Plaskett (D), and Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.), Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), Suzan Delbene (D-Wash.), and Judy Chu. . (D-Calif.), Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.), Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), Don Beyer (D-Va.), Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) , Dwight Evans (D-PA.), Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), Terry Sewell (D-Ala.), Stephen Horseford (D-Nev.), John Larson (D-Conia) , Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.), Tom Suozzi (Dn.Y.), Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), Richard Neal (D-Mass.).
Earlier this month, Trump signed an order that imposes a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican products. Within the next few days, Trump signed an agreement with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Shainbaum to delay tariffs for at least a month.
“Don't make a mistake. The full tariff on Canada and Mexico will raise the costs of American families, from food to household staples,” Democrats said in a letter.
“These tariffs threaten the stability of important American industry and employment from factory workers, farmers and small businesses, which rely on supply chains interconnected with Canada and Mexico,” they add. I did.
Oka reached out to the White House for comments.
