Last month, Harry Moser testified before the House Small Business Committee at its Hearing on Domestic Manufacturing, emphasizing the need to strengthen U.S. competitiveness to accelerate reshoring. During the hearing, Harry identified high manufacturing costs, high healthcare costs, and shortages of skilled workers as the biggest barriers to domestic manufacturing growth.

Harry and three other industry experts laid out a series of actionable recommendations—including not tariffing imports of capital equipment, reducing steel and aluminum tariffs and strengthening workforce development—to support continued reshoring momentum. As expected, the Republican Representatives generally supported, and the Democrats opposed the tariffs and the OBBB. The Reshoring Initiative urges Pres. Trump to firm up and make “permanent” reasonable tariffs so that companies can invest based on the tariffs.
