FROM CONGRESSMAN NICK LANGWORTHY:
“President Trump deserves enormous credit for putting American workers and businesses at the forefront of his economic agenda. America First means fighting for fair trade deals and bringing manufacturing back to the United States, and tariffs have proven to be an effective tool to level the playing field and promote American products abroad. Sadly, right here in Western New York and the Southern Tier we have seen communities hollowed out by the consequences of past so-called ‘free trade agreements.’
“While we all pause to examine the full implications of today’s Supreme Court decision, this much is clear: the decision was strictly centered around the interpretation of IEEPA authority, not the merits of President Trump’s trade policies and he continues to hold several legal tools to achieve his objectives. It is incumbent on Congress to work with him to create the best possible trade environment for the United States.”
