Baldwin Slams Trump’s Tariffs for Raising Prices on Families, and Hurting Farmers and Manufacturers
Baldwin: “Families across the country are going to be paying more out of their wallets from the gas pump and the grocery store – and it will only get worse when retaliation hits”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) released the following statement on President Donald Trump’s announcement of across-the-board 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China.
Senator Baldwin has long worked to crack down on other countries exploiting trade loopholes that undermine our manufacturers, farmers, and producers, and also bring illicit drugs like fentanyl into the United States. Last year, Senator Baldwin led her colleagues in calling on the Biden Administration to support a group of families’ petition under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to hold China accountable for its role in actively supporting the production and export of fentanyl into the United States. Senator Baldwin also led her colleagues in support of the United Steelworkers Section 301 petition to launch an investigation into China’s unfair trade practices in the commercial shipbuilding industry that undermine American workers and jeopardize our national security.
