New Dem Chair Demands House Republicans Join Democrats to End Trump’s Trade War Chaos
Today, New Democrat Coalition Chair Brad Schneider (IL-10) issued a statement calling on Speaker Johnson to bring forward bipartisan legislation to impose Congress’ authority over trade policy and stop Trump’s reckless global trade war:
“Today, less than a week after Trump’s declaration of the largest sales tax in U.S. history, global markets continued their free fall caused by tariff-based recession fears. But Trump either doesn’t understand — or more likely doesn’t care — about the economic devastation resulting from his idiotic and volatile policies.
“How do we know he doesn’t care? As the world watched the markets tumble, as American businesses scrambled to respond to the chaos, as American families braced for higher prices at the grocery and lower values in their retirement accounts, the President was playing golf with Saudi billionaires at his private club.
“This week, I call on Speaker Johnson and my Republican colleagues to bring bipartisan legislation to the floor to restore Congress’ power to oversee trade policy to protect our nation from a Trump recession.”
