@NFTC @MorningConsult This polling suggests that there is an opportunity for candidates to articulate a positive vision for U.S. global technology leadership -- and offer a plan to stand up for America’s businesses and workers abroad while developing closer trade and technology ties with our allies.

With former President Trump claiming at the @EconClubNY that his proposed #tariffs "will combat inflation," it's a good time to point out that tariffs raise prices, harm working families and undermine America's national and economic security.

Tariffs do not "combat inflation." Tariffs are regressive, inflationary, discriminatory and paid by Americans. Revitalizing American manufacturing can be achieved without jeopardizing the global markets American businesses need to grow. (1/2).

Thoughtful piece from @jamescrabtree on the future trajectory of U.S. China policy and the potential for a "a downward de-risking spiral.".

Narrow de-risking measures won't provide much protection in the event of a crisis with China. Pressure for the yard to get wider & the fence to get higher will increase, making narrow de-risking politically hard to sustain. My latest in @ForeignPolicy .

The letter notes some EU digital policies "almost exclusively target American companies. while giving homegrown European rivals a leg up. Some of these policies also provide opportunities for Chinese, Russian, and other foreign-owned firms to increase market share in Europe.".

This letter demonstrates the violent bipartisan agreement around the importance of U.S. global leadership on digital trade policy. If the U.S. Government doesn’t lead on writing the rules of the global digital economy, we invite discrimination against all American businesses.

On behalf of the @NFTC, thank you to @RepDelBene & @RepLaHood, and their 46 colleagues, for their leadership. It's critical for @POTUS & @USTradeRep to push back against the discriminatory elements of the @EU_Commission's digital regulatory agenda.

@Trade_EU @VDombrovskis @SJLambrinidis @NFTC It's critical for the EU & US to recognize one another as trustworthy and reliable partners -- and for the EU to demonstrate a commitment to treat American companies and workers fairly in its laws and regulations, particularly with respect to its digital regulatory agenda.
