In light of today US-China tariff escalation, worth highlighting some of the incredible details in @SenRonJohnson's letter to the Administration about harm from 232/301 #tariffs to #Wisconsin companies. #TariffsAreTaxes #TariffsareBAD bit.ly/2Lm4Nr6 1/X
@SenRonJohnson From @CV_Bean in Menomonie, Wisconsin: “CVB has cancelled over $3.5 million in capital purchases for 2018 since the retaliatory tariff was applied, as well as scrapping over $15 million in expansion plans for 2019."
@SenRonJohnson @CV_Bean More from @CV_Bean: "Kidney bean suppliers in Canada, China & Argentina will raise their prices, too, slightly below the US base price plus the tariff. The end result is that our competitors will increase their profit margins while US farmers can’t sell their beans.” 3/X

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?
Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"

Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Thread: What keeps me up at night about @realDonaldTrump trade policy and tariffs on steel and aluminum #tariffs
“It feels like 2008 again.”
This is what I heard during a phone call with my family in Michigan last night.

My family started a tool and die company in Michigan in 2002 in a tiny garage with rented equipment. Today they employ roughly 40 people.
(1) The #TrumpRally in Moon, PA tonight will be LIT.🔥🔥🔥 I was going to do just a #PhotosThread (an offshot of my regular pinned thread) but I'll add some commentary about the fascinating Special Election race, too. #VoteSaccone vs the little lamb.
(2) GA Rep Karen Handel who won her seat by special election, is speaking at the rally. Great to see her! #LaughingMyOssoff #MAGA
(3) There's so much excitement to #MAGA in PA. Everyone wants a photo with @Saccone4PA18, including @GOPChairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
I'm confident we will win on Tuesday but don't get complacent. Send a strong message to the rest of America!

🇺🇸 In a letter to @SecretaryRoss the CEO of Kaiser aluminum says it best,
“If you put us on a level playing field.. our employees can compete successfully against any counterpart in the world and will embrace the opportunity” Thank you @realDonaldTrump #AmericaFirst
