[House Atreides]

Around 3,500 U.S. companies such as including Tesla Inc, Ford Motor Co, Target Corp, Walgreen Co and Home Depot have sued the Trump administration in the last two weeks over the imposition of tariffs on more than $300 billion in Chinese-made goods. These lawsuits have been filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade.

There are currently TWO VACANCIES on the 9 member United States Court of International Trade. I don’t know what the “proclivities” of the 4 Obama appointees to the International Trade Court are but I worry about how they may intentionally rule to the detriment of the United States.

President Trump and Leader McConnell need to FILL THESE VACANCIES URGENTLY. Trump’s entire America First agenda may depend on it.

A nominee for one of the open positions on the Court of International Trade, Stephen A. Vaden, was reported out of the Judicial Committee on January 16th. The ball is in Leader McConnell’s court.
