To protect Michigan’s automotive and manufacturing industries, this week, the Detroit Regional Chamber announced its support for bipartisan legislation in Congress to limit tariffs on steel and aluminum imports (S. 3013). Last month, the Chamber joined 51 trade associations, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and 222 state and local chambers of commerce in a letter sent to U.S. senators outlining the “serious negative economic impact” retaliatory tariffs could impose on business and agriculture across the country.
Read the letter here and share your support for the bill with Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters and your U.S. representative.
