U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, alongside Senators Katie Britt and Bill Hagerty, has contributed to an op-ed in the Washington Times. The article criticizes the Biden administration's recent trade proposal, which they argue prioritizes foreign interests over American ones. This issue is particularly relevant for Alabama-based Vulcan Materials Company, which is currently involved in a dispute with the Mexican government.

In response to these developments, Senators Tuberville and Britt have introduced a resolution condemning U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai for actions perceived as undermining American businesses abroad just days before President Trump assumes office.

The op-ed highlights concerns about national and economic security under the Biden administration. It claims that USTR Katherine Tai is attempting to finalize a challenging trade proposal before January 20. This proposal allegedly rewards Mexico's government despite legal violations against American companies and could jeopardize U.S. infrastructure projects while potentially allowing strategic assets to fall into unfavorable hands.

Senator Tommy Tuberville serves Alabama in the United States Senate and holds positions on several committees including Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans’ Affairs, HELP, and Aging.
