"Tariffs and trade can – and in our view must – be used as part of a strategy for growing the middle class and empowering the working class."
WASHINGTON – Yesterday, United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai appeared on MSNBC’s Velshi to tout the Biden-Harris Administration’s trade policy and its “middle-out, bottom-up” economic agenda.
In their conversation, Ambassador Tai discussed using tariffs thoughtfully and in tandem with strategic investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act to grow domestic industries and create American jobs. Ambassador Tai also discussed using trade agreements like the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement and its enforcement mechanisms to level the playing field for workers.
