Today, in response to the imposition of tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China by the United States, House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson (PA-15) released a statement highlighting the impact of President Trump's tariff policy.
“President Trump’s tariff policy has been an effective tool in leveling the global playing field and ensuring fair trade for American producers," Thompson stated. He cited Colombia's decision to accept repatriated criminal migrants as evidence of the effectiveness of tariffs when used as a negotiating tool.
Thompson criticized the previous administration, stating, "After four years of the Biden-Harris Administration's failure to expand foreign markets, which led to an inflated agricultural trade deficit of $45.5 billion, America’s producers deserve an Administration that will fight for them." He expressed his intention to collaborate with President Trump in supporting American producers and enhancing agriculture.
