Chairman Walker on Tariffs Announcement

March 8, 2018

Washington– Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement on President Trump's tariffs announcement:

"The rationale for these tariffs is to retaliate against bad trade actors. As announced, they will be broad tariffs with a few temporary exceptions. President Trump deserves credit for his consistency calling out such bad actors, but it is imperative that we target these rogue players to remedy the situation instead of implementing across-the-board tariffs that are effectively taxes."
