“President Trump changes his tariff policy more than most people change their socks. One day he is picking fights with Canada and Mexico, our friends, and the next day he is launching a global trade war. Today, he is pausing tariffs on some countries while also increasing them on China. What our farmers, ranchers, and producers need is certainty. I don't know how my Republican colleagues can say that any of this is all according to plan with a straight face. There is no plan. There is no art of the deal. Trump's reckless tariffs are costing hardworking Americans $4,600 a year, hurting small businesses, and absolutely tanking retirement savings. Farmers are taking losses on days they go to market only to turn around and see conditions improve a few hours later because of a tweet from the President. How is that strategic? Trump alienated our trade partners and destroyed our credibility as a country that foreign governments can do business with. House Republicans are acting as his rubberstamp by banning the House from taking action to stop it. We need an adult in the room, and I cannot find a single one on the other side of the aisle. This President's tantrums are causing economic global panic. The House must be able to debate and vote on these tariffs. You have the same farmers I do coming through your offices right now to tell you it is not just the tariffs; it is the uncertainty of the tariffs and the disappearing markets.…”
