Congressman Morgan McGarvey Statement on Donald Trump’s Tariff Announcement

Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey released the following statement following Donald Trump’s tariff announcement: 

“I want to bring more manufacturing jobs home, but tariffs don't solve problems on their own. To work, they must be backed by a comprehensive plan. Donald Trump has not paired his overly broad, half-baked tariffs with any comprehensive strategy to return manufacturing jobs to the United States, and without one, these tariffs will only hurt working families and small businesses, while decimating Kentucky’s bourbon industry. 

“Families are already struggling to get by in Trump’s economy. Things will only get worse as Donald Trump continues to undermine unions and strip workers’ health care to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.”
