ASTA Letter to White House National Economic Council on Trade and Tariff Policy
This letter to the White House National Economic Council emphasizes ASTA's position that tariffs on spices raise costs for American businesses and consumers without providing any benefit to the U.S. economy, and requests a meeting to discuss preferential trade policies for unavailable natural resources, such as spices that cannot be grown in the U.S.
