Congress must act now to stop Trump’s reckless new tariffs before they devastate American families and businesses.
Trump just announced a sweeping 40% tariff on all transshipped goods—imposed with almost no notice just hours before the deadline. These chaotic, last-minute moves have already shaken markets and drawn sharp criticism from economists warning of even higher prices for consumers.
A recent Common Dreams report described the tariffs as “insane” and warned they’ll hit working families hardest. CNBC reported that stocks dipped sharply as investors reacted to the uncertainty.
Earlier this year, the Senate came within a few votes of reversing Trump’s earlier global tariffs. That effort stalled, but it proved that bipartisan resistance to these harmful trade moves is growing.
Now, Congress must finish the job. These tariffs are not only economically destructive—they’re a direct challenge to the checks and balances that protect our democracy. Trade decisions that affect millions of lives should not be made unilaterally in the middle of the night.
Trump’s erratic tariff policies are already undermining stability. Without immediate action, working families, small businesses, and entire industries will pay the price.
