DelBene, Beyer Introduce Legislation to Block President from Imposing Unchecked Tariffs

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 5(source)

New Report: “Trump’s Tariff Plans Will Drive Up Costs For The Average American Family Between $1,600 And $2,000 Per Year" Press statement here: beyer.house.gov/news/documen... Read the report here: beyer.house.gov/uploadedfile...

Joint Economic Committee
Rep. Don Beyer, Senior House Democrat

Trump’s Tariff Plans Will Drive up Costs for the Average
American Family between $1,600 and $2,000 per year
The Trump Administration’s plan to impose tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China will drive up costs for Americans while hurting the overall economy. The tariffs that are set to take effect on March 4th will impose 25% tariffs on all goods coming from both Canada and Mexico and add a new 10% tariff on all goods coming from China, which is in addition to the 10% Chinese tariff already put into place by the Trump Administration last month.
Trump’s tariffs will make everyday items more expensive
Despite Trump’s claims that foreign countries pay for tariffs, evidence from his previous tariffs shows that it was actually domestic importers and American families who faced higher costs after they took effect. If Trump imposes his proposed tariffs, economists expect they would cost middle-class households thousands of dollars.

Tonight Trump will address a coequal branch of government for which he has shown total contempt. Meanwhile my constituents are seeing their livelihoods destroyed by illegal actions. What he is doing is not normal, it is not acceptable, and I won't be attending. www.youtube.com/shorts/MlTIB...

I stood with AFGE National today to call out Donald Trump and Elon Musk's serious abuses of the federal government and our country. Federal employees make our country great. The Musk-Trump Administration's attacks on this valuable work are dangerous - and bad for our country.

"I started working at NOAA as a contractor in 2010. I finally became a fed in 2023. I was 14 days away from my probationary period when I was fired on Thursday." - NOAA climate scientist Tom Di Liberto

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 3(source)

Standing with staff at NOAA — we just heard from a scientist who was illegally fired last week. We stand with you, we will fight for you, and we will spread the word about the lifesaving work of NOAA, the National Weather Service, and vital services you provide the country. Hands off NOAA!
