Press Releases

Ways & Means Committee Ranking Member Richard Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after the Biden Administration announced action to safeguard American workers and businesses while bolstering domestic manufacturing and holding China accountable for unfair trade practices:

“Kicking off the Infrastructure Week of the decade, President Biden is once again showing the world that there is nothing he won’t do to put American workers and businesses first. After conducting a thorough and thoughtful review, the tariffs announced today are well-justified, targeted, and will protect our people and economy from China’s brazenly unfair trade practices. The Investing in America agenda has already unlocked hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, supercharged domestic development, and shored up supply chains, and as evidenced today, Democrats aren’t slowing down.

“The Biden Administration put action over rhetoric, and workers and businesses alike will benefit. Ways and Means Democrats are committed to standing strong for our workers and holding any bad actors to account alongside the Administration and will continue reviewing the full report.”
