Apparel and Footwear industry opposes tariffs against China in letter to Trump

Three organizations representing the American fashion, accessories and footwear industry, namely the American Apparel & Footwear Association, the Council of Fashion Designers of America and the Accessories Council, have penned a letter to president Donald Trump to manifest their opposition to the proposed 25 percent tariff increase on textiles, clothing, shoes and accessories coming from China. The letter, which is co-signed by 138 companies and 190 executives from the sector, comes just a few days after a similar letter, penned by over 600 companies including Walmart and Target, was sent to the White House.
