In June, CCIA research found that 25% semiconductor tariffs on U.S. data centers could cost $90 billion annually and put 243,000 jobs at risk. An updated analysis by Trevor Wagener (@econwags) finds the stakes have nearly doubled: $180 billion in annual output at risk and 474,000 jobs jeopardized. As America's data center buildout grows, so does the cost of getting tariff policy wrong. Read the updated analysis: buff.ly/extz3IP

Very instructive meetings again today with different business groups and coalitions, principally the US Business Delegation, led by Tiffany Smith, VP of the @NFTC, and Ken Levinson, CEO of @WITA_DC, and the World Federation of Sporting Goods Industry (@WFSGI) led by Jorge Casimiro, Co-Chair of WFSGI. They shared their views on @wto reform, as well as the opportunities and challenges in the global trade environment. Businesses feel the biggest obstacle is uncertainty and noted again that this is resulting in higher costs and holding back investment. They appreciate the resilience and predictability of the global trading system but were clear that further reforms to modernize this system are imperative.

🚨NEW REPORT exposes South Korea's discriminatory attacks on American-owned businesses. Foreign governments are increasingly abusing their authorities to target innovative American companies. We exposed it in Europe, and now it's happening in South Korea.

This headline couldn’t be further from the truth. The EU continues to pursue discriminatory anti-competitive policies targeting American companies.   As Co-Chair of the Digital Trade Caucus, I commend the Trump Administration’s commitment to addressing these unjustified digital trade barriers impeding U.S. businesses and innovation. I am determined to work with President Trump, @USTradeRep, and my @WaysandMeansGOP colleagues to address these issues and ensure the EU follows through on their prior commitments. nytimes.com/2025/11/17/techn…

Receiving @NFTC's Trade Leadership for the Digital Age Award was an honor. Opening markets and enforcing trade rules are vital to American industry and economic security. We must defend the free flow of data, protect IP rights, and drive a hard bargain against unfair practices.
