WASHINGTON, D.C. – Scott Whitaker, president and CEO of the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed), today sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on behalf of the industry regarding the Administration’s proposed tariffs on products imported from Mexico. He released the following statement:

“AdvaMed strongly opposes tariffs on medical technologies that save and improve countless lives every day. We’ve been engaged with the Administration and Congress regarding the proposed tariff increases on products from Mexico to make sure our views are known.
