AAFA opposes Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on China imports

American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) President and CEO Rick Helfenbein has opposed President Trump’s decision to impose new punitive tariffs on all $500 billion of U.S. imports from China.

According to him, the tariffs would make American companies and farms less competitive threatening the very livelihoods of millions of American workers and farmers.

Calling it a short sighted approach Trump labeled the tariffs as taxes that will hit the low-income Americans the hardest, imposing new hidden taxes on everything that they need to buy for themselves and their families.

He also expressed his association’s desire to participate in a trading system that creates more jobs in America and respects its intellectual property, but stated that tariffs will not enable this. They will only create inflation, hurt the consumer, and damage the economy.
