Freedom Partners Executive Vice President Nathan Nascimento commented on the current situation. Adding that damages brought on by the tariffs situation affects growth, job creation, and more.
“From lost sales to increased costs, higher tariffs give America’s job creators big headaches and endanger our prosperity. We urge the administration to work with other nations to drop the tariffs and eliminate all barriers to trade.
The time is now because, the longer this standoff drags on, the markets and suppliers that closed overnight to U.S. producers may take years to re-open.
Tariffs are destructive taxes that sow only fear and confusion. Where free trade fosters job creation and gives American consumers more choices at affordable prices to stretch paychecks further.”
