Rep. Moore Joins POTUS at White House, Applauds Reciprocal Tariffs

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore joined President Trump at the White House earlier today for the formal “Liberation Day” announcement regarding reciprocal tariffs on select foreign imports.

Congressman Moore is the author of legislation in the House to strengthen the executive’s negotiating power on reciprocal tariffs, with the aim of reducing foreign tariff and non-tariff trade barriers that make it difficult for American manufacturers to access foreign markets.

Congressman Moore issued the following statement:

“For decades, foreign countries have enjoyed free access to the greatest consumer marketplace on the face of the planet, all while still charging our domestic producers hefty duties or imposing significant barriers to access their markets. Today that ends.

“President Trump is the only president in my lifetime to acknowledge how unfair trade has gutted the heartland and shipped countless jobs overseas. By finally reciprocating in-kind, we’ll force foreign competitors to the negotiating table, lower trade barriers, and ultimately create real free and fair trade across the board.

“I’m confident this move will boost our domestic manufacturing industry and fuel demand for American products across the globe.”
