Demand an End to Harmful Trade Tariffs Impacting Global Commerce and Workers
Related Article: Trump's tariffs have not reduced Panama Canal traffic -- yet | International - bssnews.net - Friday, August 15, 2025, 12:47:27 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: United States Congress and the President of the United States
Goal: Urge US policymakers to end harmful tariffs and adopt fair, cooperative trade policies that protect workers, economies, and the environment.
The Panama Canal is a vital artery for global commerce, connecting more than 1,900 ports in 170 countries and facilitating the movement of 5% of all global shipping. Recent tariffs imposed by the United States have not yet reduced traffic through the canal, but experts and the canal's own administrator warn that continued escalation could soon lead to decreased cargo volumes, lost jobs, and economic instability for countless communities.
Tariffs do not just impact foreign exporters—they threaten the livelihoods of workers, farmers, and small businesses at home and abroad. They risk raising prices for consumers and undermining international cooperation at a time when solidarity is needed most. We call on US policymakers to end these harmful tariffs and instead pursue trade policies that are fair, transparent, and centered on the well-being of people and the planet.
Key Demands
- End the current tariffs imposed on imports and exports that threaten global commerce and jobs.
- Engage in multilateral negotiations to resolve trade disputes through cooperation, not escalation.
- Prioritize the interests of workers, small businesses, and communities in all trade policy decisions.
- Ensure that future trade agreements include strong protections for labor rights and the environment.
- Commit to transparency and public input in the development of trade policy.
