AHAM Statement on Trump Administration Trade Policies

The home appliance industry plays a pivotal role in enhancing the daily lives of American families. Our commitment to innovation, safety and efficiency ensures that our appliances remain affordable and high-performing for the households that use them. With our industry generating 400,000 jobs and contributing nearly $200 billion to the U.S. economy, the home appliance industry is a cornerstone of economic stability.   

Just as Americans in every home depend on their appliances, manufacturers are relying on lawmakers to develop common-sense policies that enable innovation.  We fully support a strong integrated North American market including a revised USMCA. 

AHAM will continue to monitor the details of proposals and the impact they may have to the millions of people who rely upon appliances every day. Working together, we can create sound policies that will allow manufacturers to deliver on our promise: to design and sell modern appliances that allow families to put dinner on the table, and keep their homes clean, comfortable and safe.
