U.S. retail groups urge Trump to drop tariffs

Mars Finance News, on April 2, before Trump announced additional tariffs, the National Retail Federation urged the government to shift its focus. The organization strongly urged Trump to double down on policies from his first term, such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the USMCA, which would achieve growth while reducing costs, and to abandon policies that bring uncertainty to American businesses and families. Michael Hanson, who leads public affairs for the organization, stated in a statement: "Americans expect Trump to help make their lives more affordable, and after years of rising prices, families want financial certainty when planning their budgets."
