Donald Trump's tariffs are a disaster for consumers everywhere.Trump claims that
imposing tariffs on imports from countries like Mexico, Canada, and China will help American businesses and bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.
But in reality, they only lead to higher costs for everyday consumers and create confusion and friction along supply chains, putting a strain on families and businesses alike.Sign the petition to demand Trump stop his tariff trade war!Tariffs are essentially taxes on imported goods, which are paid for by the country doing the importing.
So when Trump imposes a tariff, he is forcing U.S. businesses to pay up! When companies are forced to pay higher tariffs, those costs don't just disappear -- they're passed on to us, the consumers.
Prices rise on everyday items. Fresh produce from Mexico, like avocados and tomatoes. Oil and natural gas from Canada. Cars and electronics from China.
By imposing exorbitant tariffs on items from these countries at a time when cost of living was already on the rise, Trump is basically kicking his constituents when they're down.In addition to hurting consumers, tariffs are causing conflict between countries! Trade wars and retaliatory tariffs abound, hurting consumers abroad and throwing international relationships into turmoil and uncertainty.
Trump is playing with people's lives here, at home and abroad.His insults to longtime allies like Canada are dangerous, foolish, and not a reflection of how the average American feels.
Trump is causing dangerous conflict and sowing distrust between countries that should be working together.We cannot let Trump continue with these disastrous, ill-planned policies. It's time to stop punishing consumers, stop creating conflict with our allies, and stop using tactics that will only harm families in the United States and around the globe.
Sign this petition demanding that he reverse these harmful tariffs.
