Trump’s Latest Canada Tariffs Will Hurt WA Workers, Damage Regional Economy

Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement on President Trump’s latest 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods. “Washington state and Canada’s economies are deeply intertwined, and our trading relationship is mutually beneficial. These new taxes will raise prices on American families and likely lead to retaliation against the very industries Trump purportedly wants to protect. The president continues to demonstrate to the American people why he shouldn’t be allowed to put more tariffs in place without Congress’ approval. “While we may have legitimate issues with the Canadians between our alcohol, dairy, and automotive producers, the right way to handle these concerns is through thoughtful policy and negotiations, not knee-jerk reactions from the White House.”
