More than 600 U.S. companies signed a letter on June 21 in support of President Donald Trump’s tariffs imposed on China, backing the U.S. administration clamping down on the regime’s unfair trade practices.

The letter (pdf), signed by hundreds of U.S. producers as well as trade groups, said the administration needs to stay firm on the Chinese regime, given that the U.S. manufacturing sector is at stake. It also expressed concern about human rights abuses in China.
