Kim Glas

Kim Glas is the president of the National Council of Textile Organizations, representing American textile manufacturers. She has been a vocal advocate for the elimination of tariff loopholes that have negatively impacted the U.S. textile industry, particularly criticizing the 'minimis rule' that allowed low-cost Chinese goods to enter the U.S. market tariff-free. Glas argues that this loophole has devastated American textile jobs and granted China unfair access to the U.S. market, prompting her involvement in discussions surrounding trade policy and its effects on domestic manufacturing.
