Pro-border adjusted tax group begins airing ads backing reform

A group of major companies backing House Republicans’ plan to adjust taxes at the border is launching its first television ads Sunday.

The American Made Coalition, comprised of Boeing, Caterpillar, Pfizer and other major importers, will begin “saturating” cable news channels in Washington, D.C., and in targeted states through early April with ads that back the Paul Ryan-led tax reform plan.

The ad does not specifically reference the border adjustment feature of the tax plan, which has provoked opposition from the retail industry and other importers. That same provision could benefit U.S. exports.

Instead, the 30-second spot urges the viewers to “support tax reform” and warns of more factories closing.
