Amish Shah to join India Caucus, take up anti-India hate and Trump tariffs in Congress
Indian-American Congressman-elect Amish Shah has said that tackling anti-India hate in the United States and restoring Congress’s authority over tariffs will be among his top priorities when he takes office on January 3. Because we are also worried about our water supply, people of my district sent me here.
Amish Shah said he wants to take tariff-related powers away from the White House and give Congress a greater role in decisions on trade. All of those are our top priorities here, as well as tackling the corruption we have seen over the last couple of years that has caused economic hardship,” Amish Shah said. “The American people made it very clear that they want us to focus on costs, the economy, health care and bringing down those premiums and covering everybody.
He said rolling back tariffs and restoring Congress’s authority over such decisions would also benefit small businesses, including those in his constituency. “Rolling back those tariffs, reasserting Congress’s authority over tariffs, and taking it away from the White House will be a top priority as well. Speaking to news agency ANI on the sidelines of a press conference organised by the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) on Wednesday (local time), Amish Shah said members of the Indian-American community had raised concerns about anti-India hate and the impact of tariffs on Indian entrepreneurs and businesses.
Amish Shah said he planned to join the India Caucus in Congress and referred to Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi and other members expected to be present when the new Congress begins its work on January 3.
