Reuters reported that the US Chamber of Commerce is launching a campaign today to attack Trump’s protectionist trade policy. It’s believed that state-by-state analysis would be used for the campaign and it will warn that Americans that Trump is risking a global trade war that will eventually hit their pockets.
Chamber President Tom Donohue was quoted saying that “the administration is threatening to undermine the economic progress it worked so hard to achieve.” And he added that “we should seek free and fair trade, but this is just not the way to do it.”
Being the largest business group in the US with 3 million members, the Chamber also have long history of being friendly with Republicans. Their stance carries some political significance.
