Action Item:
  • Tariff Letter to the U.S. Senate - Tariffs and tariff threats put at risk the remarkable economic progress made over the past year.  With other countries preparing to retaliate against the U.S. by levying their own tariffs on $40 billion of U.S. exports in early July, the economic harm is mounting.  To address these concerns, please join the U.S. Chamber in sending a letter to the U.S. Senate urging support for Senator Bob Corker’s bipartisan tariff legislation, which would require the President to submit to Congress any proposal to raise tariffs in the interest of national security.  The deadline to sign the letter is Thursday, June 21 at 5:00pm EDT.  Click here to read and sign the letter.
