Red Land Cotton Founder Mark Yeager: "I think tariffs could help... especially in textiles. If you look at the rates that it would cost us to send our product to China, India — it's astronomical. So, the reciprocal [tariffs], I think it could help."

Red Land Cotton’s point hits hard—foreign tariffs on U.S. goods like textiles are predatory, and reciprocity is long overdue. The United States Reciprocal Trade Act (H.R. 735) gives the president authority to level the playing field by matching foreign tariffs and nontariff barriers. This isn’t about protectionism; it’s about forcing fairness. China slaps 25% tariffs on U.S. cotton, while our markets stay open. That imbalance gutted industries and shipped jobs overseas. The Act’s Section 3(b)(2) allows targeted counter-tariffs to dismantle foreign trade abuse. Biden’s admin let this rot fester, but the current focus on reciprocity—backed by bills like H.R. 735—is how we rebuild. When foreign markets charge 4x our rates, matching them isn’t radical—it’s survival.

Here’s what could get more expensive with Trump’s new tariffs.

Tariffs work

Ordering a set now for the boat to support them.

Trump's Tariffs bring the Golden Age back to America

Love this Alabama company!

But slave labor is a good thing

This is what the terriffs are all about! Keeping made in the USA products here in the US! Keep our US businesses here, along with bringing back many that moved to other countries!

I’ve always wanted to try red land cotton! Maybe this is the year!

Trump was right again 🥳

I prefer American made products! Much better quality, and they last longer!
