WASHINGTON – Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, released the following statement in response to President Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs:
“The President keeps using tariffs. I don’t think tariffs work the way the President thinks. The headlines tell the story…
The Wall Street Journal: “The Dumbest Trade War in History.”
CNN: “Trump aide says tariffs will raise $6 trillion, which would be largest tax hike in US history”
Daily Telegraph: “Trump is plotting the biggest tax rise in global history”
Trump’s making the wrong kind of history.
Republicans must join with Democrats and put Congress back in the driver’s seat.”
