Lobbying
Targeted Tariff Moratorium or Reductions (Executive/Negotiation)
Work with the administration to implement a temporary suspension or reduction of certain tariffs that are most inflationary.
Pursue targeted, time-limited tariff suspensions or reductions focused on categories most tied to price pressure. This uses executive negotiation and administrative action to deliver faster relief than full repeal while keeping a pragmatic “temporary pause” frame available for proponents. The goal is near-term price relief without needing Congress to pass a broad tariff package first.
Why this works
Quick relief, doesn’t need full repeal so face-saving for tariff proponents (they can be “temporarily paused”). If structured as part of a negotiation (like “we suspend some tariffs, China agrees to…something” or allied mutual suspension), can be sold as a win-win.
National Taxpayers Union (NTU) is a conservative-leaning advocacy group founded in 1969 that advocates for lower taxes, reduced government spending, and free-market economic policies. NTU often opposes tariffs and trade barriers that it views as hidden taxes on consumers:. The organization lobbies Congress and engages its members to support fiscally conservative measures, publishes scorecards on lawmakers’ votes, and occasionally partners across the aisle on issues like government transparency.
Mechanism
How National Taxpayers Union uses funding
- Identify which tariff categories most clearly connect to consumer prices and business input costs.
- Build the case using analyses and public concern about price impacts.
- Engage the administration and relevant agencies with a concrete, targeted proposal.
- Coordinate a coalition of affected businesses and consumer voices to increase political cover.
- Track implementation and communicate what changed, for how long, and what comes next.
