Trump's Tariffs are Raising Prices on Hardworking Americans

Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement on President Trump’s global tariffs, which are set to take effect on August 1. “Americans have made it crystal clear that lowering prices is their top concern. President Trump and Congressional Republicans continue to break their promise to address the affordability crisis in our country and instead are focused on giving massive handouts to billionaires that are paid for by families who work hard every day. “Regardless of how many of Trump’s tariffs go into effect tomorrow, the on-again, off-again whiplash makes it harder for small businesses to manufacture and sell products and for families to afford necessities like groceries, prescription drugs, and energy bills.  Businesses cannot grow this way and families cannot get ahead. Every day, Republicans’ continued silence is costing their constituents.”
