Great statement from Rep. Hurd on his vote to deny “economic emergency” tariffs on Canada. Americans pay these tariffs, with new data from @WePayTheTariffs showing businesses and consumers in Colorado paid $22 million in IEEPA tariffs on Canadian imports.

Today’s vote is grounded first and foremost in the Constitution. Article I gives Congress the authority to regulate commerce with foreign nations and to levy tariffs. Over time, Congress has delegated limited authority to the Executive Branch, particularly in matters involving

@KevinKileyCA @RepDonBacon @RepThomasMassie @RepGregoryMeeks To lead the next century, the U.S. needs certainty, strong allies, and open markets. Congress: Pass today’s resolution disapproving ‘economic emergency’ tariff authority for Canada tariffs and let's turn our focus to growth, jobs, and American leadership.🚀

@KevinKileyCA @RepDonBacon @RepThomasMassie And thank you to @RepGregoryMeeks for your leadership and steadfast advocacy. Trade policy should be transparent and accountable to Congress. America leads the world in innovation when businesses can invest, grow, and hire. That means stable, transparent trade policy.

These tariffs aren’t strategic. They make products less affordable, squeeze manufacturers, and slow startups. Thanks to House Dems and @kevinkileyca, @RepDonBacon, and @RepThomasMassie for rejecting yesterday’s procedural motion & preserving Congressional authority on trade.

Congress will vote today on a resolution blocking IEEPA tariffs on imports of Canadian goods. Canada is one of our closest allies and top trading partners & these tariffs hurt American innovators, workers, and consumers. It’s time for Congress to reassert its tariff authority!

Great to see reports of a U.S.-India trade deal that ratchets down tariffs. The U.S. and India have an opportunity to build on this agreement with stronger economic ties and further tariff relief for U.S. businesses and consumers.

JUST IN: Customs duty revenue reached $264 billion in 2025, versus $79 billion in 2024. The President’s tariffs amounted to a very large tax hike on US imports.

CSI communicated to ROK the importance of non-discriminatory treatment of US services firms, esp in the digital space and with respect to competition law. We also noted the importance of adhering to transparent, non-discriminatory enforcement measures.

Europe is open for business and a serious investor in deep tech. I joined Ambs. @varvuolis, @kprikk and @EdBRZA to discuss how modern policy, strong innovation ecosystems, and transatlantic cooperation protect what innovation needs most: funding certainty and academic freedom.

Great for Americans: @USTradeRep opts for zero tariffs on semiconductors thru mid-'27 in Section 301 investigation into PRC semis. I urge the Administration to continue this approach & avoid tariffs on downstream tech products and chips in those products.

My new Capitolism @thedispatch digs into an under-discussed way that Trump's tariffs are kneecapping American businesses: their mind-numbingly INSANE complexity. You think you know how bad it is? You have no idea. "Welcome to Tariff Complexity Hell" 🎁: https://t.co/GU2ikySMoJ

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax. The anti-Robin Hood. Trump's current tariff settings effectively impose a tax rate on low-income households that's roughly TRIPLE that on high-income folks. That's not the way taxes are supposed to work. [source:

Crucial for US digital service providers: US/ROK commit to preventing discrimination/undue barriers for US companies, inc. network usage fees & online platform regulations. Both will facilitate cross-border data transfer, including for location, reinsurance, and personal data.

The US-Korea deal locks in tariff certainty—including a 15% cap on IEEPA/some Section 232 tariffs, equivalent 232 semiconductor tariff treatment to other U.S. partners, and zeroed-out tariffs for products in Annex III of the Sept. 5 EO (although this list should expand to include

I’m at the Supreme Court for oral arguments on Presidential tariff authority under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA). This case matters for American businesses, who need tariff certainty to thrive. I’ll be in the room where it happens, more thoughts to come.
