AFP and Freedom Partners Join Coalition Urging Restoration of Congressional Tariff Authority

READ THE COALITION LETTER HERE

AFP President Tim Phillips and Freedom Partners Executive Vice President Nathan Nascimento issued the following joint statement:

“For months, our economy, farmers, American workers, and businesses have been hampered by uncertainty in the wake of tariff escalation. The bipartisan Bicameral Congressional Trade Authority Act is imperative to reinstate Congress’s authority to approve tariffs and provide a much-needed check on what is just another tax on Americans. The Constitution gives the legislative branch responsibility to impose tariffs. It is essential that those powers over tariffs are restored.”
