Deluzio emphasized the strategic importance of tariffs and critiqued the current administration’s application of these trade measures.
In his tweet dated April 1, 2025, Deluzio stated, "The Admin's approach to trade is wrong for America not because it uses tariffs—it's wrong for America because of HOW it uses tariffs. Here's why (1/3)" He highlights the misuse of tariffs as the central issue with the administration's trade policy.

(2/3)" In this tweet, he emphasizes the potential benefits and protective nature of tariffs when applied correctly.
Further elaborating, Deluzio tweeted on April 1, 2025, that, "BUT, to be effective (and for companies to want to invest in ), tariffs have to be strategic, predictable, and implemented alongside larger industrial + pro-worker policies. (3/3)" This highlights the necessity for a comprehensive strategy and detailed planning to maximize the positive impact of tariffs on U.S. industrial and workplace policies.
