Barr Backs Trump Reinstating Tariffs, Calls for Protecting America First Trade Policies following SCOTUS Decision

Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY-06) released the following statement after President Donald Trump announced he will reinstate the America First trade agenda following today’s disgraceful Supreme Court decision: “I fully support President Trump’s decision to reinstate tariffs. We cannot stand by while the Supreme Court undermines the America First trade agenda. Here in Kentucky’s Sixth Congressional District, Apple didn’t just expand because of Trump’s strategy—they moved 100% of iPhone glass production from China and other Asian countries to our District. Presidents Reagan, Bush, Obama, and Biden all used tariffs. It’s time to end the double standards against Trump. I will stand with our President and protect American workers.” ###
