Moran: Additional tariffs will further harm Kansas farmers, ranchers, manufacturers

(From Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas)

I share President Trump’s frustration that China backtracked on previous commitments in the ongoing trade discussions, and believe that China must negotiate in good faith for a deal to be reached.

However, we know additional tariffs will further harm Kansas farmers, ranchers and manufacturers. In addition, Kansas families will also pay higher prices for everyday goods, and China’s retaliatory tariffs will continue to target Kansas farmers and ranchers, who are already facing low commodity prices.










Until this trade war is resolved, it is critical that American manufacturers and businesses have the opportunity to apply for an exclusion from the tariffs, and as chairman of the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Subcommittee, I secured a commitment from U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer to establish an exclusion process for the third round of tariffs on China. 

I am working with USTR to make this exclusion process available as soon as possible, and I will continue to utilize my role on the Senate Appropriations Committee to work toward lasting solutions to these ongoing tariff battles. Click here to read more on this commitment.
