Kennedy urges bold tariff plan to counter Soviet encirclement
President Kennedy proposed a new and bold trade program to lower tariffs and foster cooperation with the European Common Market. He warned against sacrificing sovereignty and rejected joining the Common Market, while urging Congress to grant broader bargaining power to negotiate across entire goods categories. He argued reciprocal tariff cuts would boost U.S. sales and strengthen allies, as debates continued over legislative feasibility and the scope of authority needed.
