Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the President's announcement of increased tariffs on Chinese goods in key sectors. President Biden leads once again. He took strong actions this week to give us the tools that we need as a nation to combat unfair trade practices, support cutting-edge American manufacturing, and protect our national security. American workers and businesses can outcompete anyone on a level playing field, but China has undermined that level playing field for decades. The increased tariffs on electric vehicles, EV batteries, steel, aluminum, semiconductors, critical minerals, and other fundamental inputs will support American manufacturing and ensure the next generation of good-paying jobs are created right here in the United States of America with good union jobs. These measures will also help secure supply chains essential to our national security. President Biden's tariff increases will build domestic capacity and insulate critical industries from undue Chinese Communist Party influence. ____________________

It showcases the Biden-Harris approach to foreign policy, Erin. It showcases what happens when you bring together allies, when you get these diplomatic feats and today's a win for this country and certainly for the Whelan family.
