Senator Gillibrand Criticizes President Trump's Canadian Tariffs, Citing Increased Costs for New Yorkers
U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has issued a statement criticizing President Trump's administration for its latest trade war with Canada, specifically targeting the tariffs imposed. According to Senator Gillibrand, these tariffs will lead to increased costs for New York families and negatively impact small businesses within the state. She argues that despite promises to lower costs and make life more affordable, the administration's actions have made life more expensive. Senator Gillibrand highlighted that previous tariffs by President Trump have been deemed unconstitutional and have already raised prices for New Yorkers. She emphasized that Canada is a significant trading partner for New York, serving as one of its largest export markets for goods and services, while the state imports over $20 billion annually from Canada. Public opinion polls, as cited by Senator Gillibrand, indicate that a majority of Americans oppose President Trump's tariff actions due to their impact on prices and families.
