Thank you @RepSalinas for visiting the @CAGrownFruit canned cherry facility! We saw firsthand the importance of Oregon’s picked and packed produce. Consumers deserve to easily know whether their canned foods are from the United States.

CMI is calling on @POTUS and Congress to protect U.S. steel can makers and canned food companies from China’s subsidized and unfairly priced can components and canned food imports. At risk are tens of thousands of American manufacturing jobs. cancentral.com/us-canned-foo…

President Biden’s proposal on raising tariffs for Chinese steel and aluminum doesn’t go far enough. @POTUS must act now to save U.S. union jobs in the metal can and canned food industry. Read our statement: cancentral.com/can-manufactu…

CMI urges @USTradeRep not only to maintain but to increase existing Section 301 tariffs on imports from China of (i) steel and aluminum cans; (ii) steel and aluminum ends for food and beverage cans; and (iii) filled food cans. cancentral.com/wp-content/up… #Section301 #Tariffs #China

The Biden administration and Congress must act now to establish and maintain a resilient, robust, and secure domestic food supply system. #trade #tradepolicy realclearpolicy.com/articles…

Tariffs would inflate canned-goods prices, alienate U.S. allies and take away U.S. jobs. Will the Administration punish Americans to help one company and one Senator who faces a tough reelection? #ClevelandCliffs #Trade wsj.com/articles/tin-foil-ha…
"Chinese products don’t have to meet American safety standards, labeling requirements, nor U.S. labor practices, all of which increase the costs of production for American companies."

"...if the Biden administration moves forward with these tariffs, it'll help a few well-connected steel bigwigs at the expense of my friends, family, and tens of thousands of other American manufacturing workers."

New duties on tinplate steel could threaten thousands of manufacturing jobs and jeopardize U.S. food security. 36 members of Congress agree and sent a letter to the Biden administration and the International Trade Commission (ITC). #clevelandcliffs #trade cancentral.com/congressional…
Food cans contain nutritious, affordable, accessible products to feed Americans, especially those on government assistance. The Administration should eliminate quotas on tinplate steel for food cans so they remain affordable and accessible. #foodcans #WHConfHungerHealth
