Rep. Shri Thanedar’s Statement on Biden Tariff Announcement
Washington, D.C. - May 15, 2024 - Congressman Shri Thanedar (D-MI) celebrated the Biden Administration’s recent announcement to protect American manufacturers and workers from the Chinese Communist Party and defend the historic investments made under President Biden.
Because of their undue influence on manufacturing, the CCP has long set out to undermine the progress and resurgence of American manufacturing. They also create unacceptable risks to America’s supply chains and economic security. Their actions create an inequitable market designed to undercut fair trade in industries like auto manufacturing, critical minerals, and chip components.
These CCP practices especially affect the people of Detroit and its surrounding communities who rely on domestic manufacturing to support their families. By defending these jobs and industries, the Biden Administration is keeping its promise to stand up for the American worker, make our economy more resilient, and ensure the future is made in America.
