Club for Growth President David McIntosh responded to the Trump Administration’s recent trade agreements with the European Union, highlighting the potential benefits for American consumers and businesses.
“President Trump’s agreement with the European Union successfully brings greater certainty and lower tariffs. These trade deals also reduce the pressure leading to higher costs for American families. Reciprocal zero-zero deals are even better. As dangerously high tariffs on many trading partners are scheduled to take effect in August, we encourage the administration to continue to focus on broad-based, reciprocal zero-zero tariff deals — and avoid carveouts for special interests. If the US needs more time to finish the rest of the deals, it would be wise to extend the current 90-day window to allow for further negotiations,” said David McIntosh, President of Club for Growth.
The statement comes as new tariffs are set to be implemented in August unless additional agreements are reached or existing negotiation periods are extended.
