Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Jenkins (R-KS) released the following statement after President Trump’s announcement on steel and aluminum tariffs:

“I am pleased the President has exempted Canada and Mexico as NAFTA modernization continues but I believe the President should work to ensure this action only affects bad trade actors. National security is paramount, but we should not undercut our key trading partners and strategic allies with broad-based tariffs that raise taxes on American consumers and close markets for U.S. products. I look forward to continue working with the Trump administration to ensure Kansas businesses and family operations continue to access the global markets they need to sell their products.”
