“Equipment manufacturers have been asking to get off the tariff rollercoaster for some time, but it appears that we are now firmly buckled in and along for the ride," said Kip Eideberg, AEM Senior Vice President of Government and Industry Relations. "The equipment manufacturing industry believes in, and strongly supports, products made in the United States, but recognize that at times certain parts and products must be sourced elsewhere. This most recent tariff escalation will not bring about long-term, structural reforms to China’s trade and industrial policies, but it will negatively impact our industry’s ability to continue to invest and create jobs in America.”
