Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement on President Trump’s rollback of some of his food tariffs. 

“President Trump has finally admitted what we’ve all known for months – his illegal tariffs are making everyday items like coffee, bananas, and meat more expensive. Families have needlessly had to pay more at the grocery store while American farmers have been the target of other countries retaliating against Trump’s trade agenda.

“Right now, families are struggling with higher prices on food, health care, child care, and housing. Trump and Republicans promised to lower prices on Day One, but these sweeping tariffs did the exact opposite.

“This shows why Congress needs to exercise its power over tariffs so families and our economy aren’t hurt by the president’s impulsive decisions.

“The president needs to go further and roll back all of his sweeping tariffs.”
