Following Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) calls for a new tax targeting America’s energy companies shortly after the new sanctions on Russian energy imports, National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons released the following statement:
“Our country is sacrificing to save the Ukrainian people, and this is a blatant political ploy to exploit a crisis to enact an extremist agenda. American policymakers should be singularly focused on saving the people of Ukraine and ending a dictator’s expansionist ambitions, instead of attacking American businesses that are doing all we can to support our government’s efforts to bring about peace.”
