Thank you for hosting us @NOIweala! Really enjoyed our discussion and hope to see you again soon.

Great connecting with @COSEsmallbiz this AM on U.S. trade policy and the impacts tariffs are having on small businesses. At the top of everyone's minds: how should companies be navigating the increasingly uncertain business environment? #supplychains uschamber.com/small-business…

I’m proud that the @USChamber, @NRFnews, @SMACNA, @usmayors, and @NABTU have all voiced their support for my bipartisan legislation to undo President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods. The outpouring of endorsements from key industry and business leaders highlights that these new taxes are detrimental for American businesses. We must challenge this nonsensical trade war with one of our closest trading partners and allies.

Statement: @USChamber Welcomes Pause, Calls for Permanent End to Tariff Threats

The @USChamber thanks Senate Finance Chairman @MikeCrapo and Ranking Member @RonWyden and 16 other senators for their strong bipartisan pushback against USTR's last-minute push to secretly renegotiate key investment provisions in U.S. trade agreements.

40 U.S. business groups urge the White House to restore U.S. digital trade leadership: uschamber.com/international/…

@USChamber led another successful lobby day outlining benefits strong digital trade rules have on all sectors of the economy. Shoutout to the companies & other associations contributing to this collaborative effort in the House & Senate. The U.S. needs to lead on #digitaltrade.

Great meeting with Sen. Cardin’s team in the @SenateSmallBiz committee room to discuss fully retroactive #GSPrenewal. GSP saves an average small biz btw $100-200k in duties annually. Shoutout to @RenewGSPToday for setting up another stellar Lobby Day on such an important issue.

Kicking off WTO #MC13 in Abu Dhabi with @JGodiasMurphy. Important to continue showing how #trade delivers.

Chairman @RepRWilliams wrote to the @USTradeRep expressing concern over a new policy decision to abandon support for core U.S. digital trade priorities. This policy only serves to hurt the economy and will leave small businesses with a disproportionate burden. Read more below. smallbusiness.house.gov/news/documents…

@HouseSmallBiz Great to see the letter mention several of the following themes/ways small biz will be impacted: uschamber.com/international/…

“For small businesses that are already facing excessive regulatory burdens, rising inflation, and uncertainty with the U.S. economy, the impact of your decision will be far more pronounced and burdensome in comparison to large companies,” the @HouseSmallBiz wrote.

@HouseSmallBiz Committee today called on USTR to reconsider its #digitaltrade decision, citing due process/consultation/cost concerns. smallbusiness.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

Reupping this before @isabelleicso and I head to the @WTO meetings next week in Abu Dhabi
