Sullivan and Colleagues Send Letter to President Highlighting Potential Negative Impacts of Steel and Aluminum Tariffs
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) along with U.S. Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA), John Barrasso (R-WY), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), James Lankford (R-OK), Mike Rounds (R-SD), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to President Trump today expressing concern over how proposed aluminum and steel tariffs could negatively impact our national security and strain relationships with our international allies and partners.
“As outlined in both the National Security Strategy and National Defense Strategy, maintaining relationships with allies and partners is vital to international stability and the national security of the United States. Our military and intelligence communities benefit from these alliances and partnerships, and in today’s strategic environment it is of utmost importance that we continue to foster constructive relationships with international partners that share our nation’s concerns and interests with emphasis on addressing the most critical challenges facing the U.S. and global steel industry,” the Senators wrote.
They continued by offering, “In lieu of imposing broad, global aluminum and steel tariffs that could adversely impact our relationship with several key allies, we ask that the administration consider alternative approaches to address these issues.”
