Cramer Statement on Proposed Tariffs on China

Statement

Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement regarding President Trump's proposed tariffs on China:

"The President is right to stand up to China. No President before him ever has; consequently, they have been allowed to violate all of the rules of free trade, harming our economy and resulting in the gross trade imbalance we have today. That said, I would like to see the President take a more measured approach as the impulse of position has created unnecessary turmoil for our markets. I have been in contact with the White House, and I am confident they are looking for ways to lessen the serious, yet hopefully short term, negative effects, experienced by our agricultural producers."
