New Tariff To Be Readied For Senate By Republicans
Washington April 3 Finial ing touches to the tariff bill were being applied by Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee who hope to report it to the Senate on Thursday. The measure has lingered for 15 months since House and Senate action and may need several months more to finalize. Democrats promise to attack the embargo and prohibitive features, arguing the U S is now a creditor nation and cannot shut out foreign markets. Senator Simmons cites Europe’s debt dependence on trade with the U S as a key factor in pressuring a tariff rethink. He warns high tariffs could disrupt trade, raise prices, and hurt American consumers as wages fall and business prospects shrink.
