2022 CA Senate race: on Free Trade


Alex Padilla: Urge China to lift tariffs on U.S. wines

Senators Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla joined Sen. Jeff Merkeley in pushing U.S. Trade Representative Katharine Tai and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to lobby China to stop its 54% tariff on American wine. "Vintners that were shipping pallets worth of wine are now only shipping cases, or none at all, as Chinese consumers turn to wine from other countries," the letter said. China imposed the tariffs during a vicious trade war with the U.S. during the Donald Trump administration.

Mark Meuser: Encourage US manufacturing, don't rely on foreign industry

The shortages at stores of things we use on a daily basis or wanted to give as gifts during the holidays illustrated how reliant we are on goods manufactured overseas. We need policies that allow for and encourage manufacturing in the United States so that we are not reliant on foreign governments or industries for the products we use on a daily basis.
