BREAKING: Today, CPA released a new economic analysis showing a global 10% tariff on all U.S. imports would generate economic growth, increase real wages, increase employment, & raise additional revenue to lower taxes for working-class Americans. 📈 tinyurl.com/yuvfdd5z

"Many economists" have predicted @POTUS Trump's tariffs would immediately lead to skyrocketing inflation, shuttered businesses, and a wrecked American economy. Many economists were wrong.

It's imperative the US own the solar supply chain here at home as solar continues to be a vital source of electric power generation. It’s clear a global protective solution is needed to reshore & support the full value domestic manufacturing supply chain. tinyurl.com/96d9bsfe

Most models (like the one behind a San Francisco Fed economist's view that tariffs will lead to higher inflation) assume a fixed level of employment and capital, which is highly unrealistic, says CPA chief economist emeritus Jeff Ferry. The aim of tariffs is to move people into…

Trade deals never delivered any benefits to Americans, ever! ALL U.S. trade deals through 2017 increased exports by only 1.6%, while imports surged 3.4%! Exports are a tiny slice -11%- of US GDP, while 89% of economic activity comes from domestic demand prosperousamerica.org/trade-agreemen…

America's copper industry is in crisis — & Washington is finally taking notice. With @POTUS' announcement of 50% tariffs on copper imports, the U.S. has correctly identified it as a material of strategic national importance. But it's only a first step. bit.ly/4nHzRoF

For decades, U.S. politicians have sold free trade agreements as a beacon of prosperity for the American economy. The logic was tidy: “Most of the world’s consumers live outside the U.S.—so if we open foreign markets, prosperity will follow.” On paper, it sounded plausible. But…

For 30 years, America was sold the illusion that opening foreign markets would deliver shared prosperity at home. But that promise collapsed under the weight of reality. It’s time to stop repeating mistakes. We need a trade model that puts national strength ahead of multinational…

Tomato growers in Florida & other states have urged the Trump Admin to end an agreement with Mexico, arguing imports from the southern neighbor are priced unfairly low. “What you’ve seen is a consistent reduction in the market share of U.S. tomatoes.” tinyurl.com/56bfn9hy
On Monday, @POTUS sent letters to several Asian countries establishing new tariff rates. Among them: Myanmar: 40% Laos: 40% Cambodia: 36% Thailand: 36% Bangladesh: 35% Indonesia: 32% Malaysia: 25% South Korea: 25% Japan: 25% Vietnam: 20% ANALYSIS ➔ tinyurl.com/mvzw9ahp

Copper is indispensable to the future of American infrastructure, energy, & defense. But U.S. copper mills are facing a massive crisis as China floods our market & traders take advantage of higher relative prices in the U.S. for refined copper. MORE ➔ tinyurl.com/fjn75tuw

A Market Access Charge might be the perfect addition to @POTUS' tariff agenda. The charge applies only to money brought into the U.S. from abroad. It's a pro-worker, pro-growth, America First policy immune from the “it’s a tax on Americans” narrative. 🔗 tinyurl.com/ywnnfnh5

If you listen to the talking heads, you may think we're getting buried by inflation, the stock market is in shambles, & we need to start hoarding Chinese yuan to pay for morning lattes. But reality paints a very different picture, as @CPAMihir explains. tinyurl.com/mvakufnr

As we celebrate our Nation’s independence, we’re reminded why CPA was founded: No nat’l organization existed to advocate for American producers’ interests in building productive capacity & good-paying jobs here in the U.S. Since 2007, we’ve fought tirelessly to fill that void.

Wall Street economists are finally starting to admit what we’ve known all along: Tariffs are not some inflationary monster, says CPA Economist @AndrewRech. The next step is to recognize they can also rebuild U.S. industry & deliver real economic growth. tinyurl.com/4x7mxfru

CPA President @j_toomey1 tells @WSJ the Senate's removal of the FEOC Excise Tax from its reconciliation bill amounts to “a blatant giveaway to the CCP’s solar industry” that puts Chinese slave labor, coal-powered factories, & CCP-subsidized equipment over American workers, U.S.…
