Chamber CEO Clark Urges Lower Tariffs, More Legal Immigration

Suzanne Clark, President and CEO of the US Chamber of Commerce, tells Bloomberg's Kailey Leinz that businesses are hungry for greater certainty from policymakers. On her list: faster permitting, more legal immigration, lower tariffs and additional trade agreements that would open markets and make supply chains more consistent. Clark says companies are still seeing demand, but they are running into labor shortages, particularly in construction and skilled trades. Those gaps, she argues, are holding back projects and adding to cost pressures at a time when firms are already navigating an uncertain policy environment. The discussion on Bloomberg's "Balance of Power" captures the business lobby's priorities as Washington debates trade, immigration and regulation.
