President Trump’s announcement today imposing sweeping new tariffs is further proof that this Administration is driving us straight into a recession. Groundwork Collaborative’s Executive Director Lindsay Owens released the following statement:
“Americans have one simple request of President Trump: lower prices. Instead of answering the call, he’s taking a sledgehammer to the economy and pursuing unpopular, reckless trade policies that will do nothing to benefit workers and only serve to increase costs for consumers.
“But Trump doesn’t care about what happens to working families, as long as his billionaire donors and advisors are happy. Republicans are already chomping at the bit to use any potential tariff revenue to fund their next massive billionaire tax break.”
