Trump’s Tariffs Are Kleptocracy in Action Very little of what you’ve heard about presidential ‘deals’ is true. It’s really a shakedown on behalf of Trump’s desires and corporate whims.

📌 Read the article now: prospect.org/economy/2025...

📌 Read our memo now: rethinktrade.org/reports/pres...

"So far, Trump’s trade deals seem to prioritize the demands of Big Tech, Big Oil, and the other usual beneficiaries of decades of failed U.S. trade policy instead of fixing the root causes of our huge trade deficit.”

Americans cannot wait until 2027 when de minimis is slated to be terminated by statute. Every day, deadly fentanyl-laced pills, dangerous and fake products and forced labor imports are flooding in. That's why this news is a big deal! 4/4 t.co/QlIGhZXoJL

If courts invalidate the EOs based on the Int'l Emergency Economic Powers Act now used to end de minimis, we urge the admin. to use its authority under Sec. 321 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to issue a new EO to enact the same global de minimis termination. 3/ t.co/5sn7WCHejS

For the end of duty-free de min access to translate into fewer unsafe/deadly imports & less trade cheating hurt on domestic producers, the admin. must also strengthen customs enforcement by requiring more info about imports, boosting inspection & raising violation penalties 2/
