NCTO Pushes Back on Tariffs Impacting North America
Kim Glas, President and CEO of the National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) alluded recently, "The newly imposed tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada threaten a crucial textile and apparel coproduction chain with our two valued trade partners—one that sustains nearly 500,000 American jobs and a total of 1.6 million jobs across North America.
Destabilizing this production chain coupled with the de minimis loophole will only exacerbate migration and the fentanyl crisis.
We appreciate that President Trump has drawn much-needed attention to these significant problems, but we believe there is another way that achieves critical objectives that grow U.S. jobs, stabilize the Western Hemisphere, and close dangerous tariff loopholes that are hurting us all.
We want to work with the President to find solutions that work to meet all these objectives."
