Coalition for a Prosperous America Tells Trump to Stick With Tariffs on China
Hundreds of small companies and individuals, along with the Automotive Parts Remanufacturers trade association, have sent a letter to President Donald Trump saying they support the imposition of 25 percent tariffs on Chinese imports, and urging him to stand strong in his fight. The letter, organized by Coalition for a Prosperous America, was sent June 21. "Many in the media and those self-interested in China have argued that Americans are bearing the cost of these tariffs. That is simply, false. China is bearing the burden of these tariffs. China has had to lower its prices, and they are experiencing fewer exports, lower profits, and lower tax revenue as a result of the tariffs," they wrote, and said there has been "zero impact" on U.S. inflation from the tariffs.
