Wyden Statement on Trump Administration’s New Tariffs on Chinese Goods

Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today released the following statement on the Trump administration’s new tariffs on Chinese goods: 

“While the administration is right to take on the serious trade challenges our country has with China, I have long been skeptical that the president will deliver for American workers without coordinating with our economic and political allies. Instead, Donald Trump has spent the last two years alienating our allies, rather than enlisting them to our side. We came to this fight from a position of weakness as a result of isolation, instead of with an army of allies behind us supporting our confrontation of China’s trade practices.”
