Great piece from Dominic Pino in National Review today on pink tariffs, looking at our PPI work and the New Democrat Coalition (NDC) Rep. Lizzie Fletcher Brittany Pettersen 'Pink Tariffs Study Act': nationalreview.com/corner/another…
AAFA president and CEO @SteveWonk says there is “no room for gender bias” in trade or tariff policy, yet he noted this legacy has been allowed to persist for nearly a century #TariffsHurt #PinkTax #TariffsAreTaxes

Tariffs in general are bad, but if we can't get rid of them entirely, it's good that New Dems like U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen and Rep. Lizzie Fletcher are leading the charge on taking the first steps to end gender discrimination in the US tariff system.

Pink tariffs may directly contribute to women paying more for everyday goods than men, including everything from razors to clothes.
That's why New Dems Rep. Lizzie Fletcher & U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen are introducing the Pink Tariffs Study Act to examine the prevalence and impact of pink tariffs.
Simon Lester ? - which international org is supposed to deal with global imbalances? Hint - it’s not in Geneva, but closed its office there some time ago. Far more effective for US policymakers to have the kinds of discussions Yellen seems to be having rather than thinking tariffs fix it
