Allan will provide testimony on behalf of Stanley Black & Decker on the company's manufacturing and supply chain resiliency and discuss the importance of manufacturing in the United States.

"In this period of recovery from the impacts of the COVID pandemic, we believe a strategic U.S. trade agenda is critical to ensuring a robust and inclusive economic recovery," said Allan in a written testimony. "The agenda should support job creation in the U.S., expand access to new markets, and ensure global competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. The U.S. trade agenda should also reconsider the Section 301 tariff regime on products of China, particularly those that are inputs used to support U.S. manufacturing."
