Statement from Mayor Raj Salwan on Tariffs

Recently, Mayor Raj Salwan weighed in on the potential impact and threat that widespread tariffs could have on Fremont’s global advanced manufacturing hub. Read Mayor Salwan’s statement below:

“Fremont is the advanced manufacturing capitol of Silicon Valley. With the largest manufacturing base in California, we are home to over 900 manufacturers powering industries from semiconductors and artificial intelligence to American-made electric vehicles. Tariffs threaten the global supply chains that sustain our local economy and jeopardize tens of thousands of local jobs. We are hearing directly from our manufacturers that untenable cost increases for key components and growing policy uncertainty around tariffs are leading them to re-evaluate their expansion plans or US operations entirely.

Fremont is a shining example of re-shoring U.S. manufacturing and indiscriminate tariffs run completely counter to this stated policy goal. We are deeply concerned for our collective prosperity if these taxes being levied against our businesses and families are not reversed.” 

– "Mayor Raj Salwan, City of Fremont"
