Senator Baldwin Criticizes President Trump's Trade War Impact on Wisconsin Dairy and Paper Industries

Senator Baldwin Criticizes President Trump's Trade War Impact on Wisconsin Dairy and Paper Industries

On September 8th, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) issued a statement condemning President Trump's trade war with Canada, specifically highlighting the retaliatory tariffs imposed on Wisconsin's dairy and paper exports. These tariffs were enacted by Canada in response to President Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods, following abandoned trade negotiations. Senator Baldwin stated that President Trump's actions are leading to increased costs and reduced export markets for Wisconsin businesses. She emphasized that the state's dairy and paper industries are particularly affected, facing significant financial strain or being locked out of crucial markets. The Senator noted that nearly all cheese varieties Wisconsin sells to Canada will incur a 25% tariff, while milk powders, whey, and other dairy ingredients will face a 50% tariff. Wisconsin's paper industry, which produces more paper products than any other U.S. state, will also see retaliatory tariffs, mostly at 50%, on items such as corrugated boxes, coated p...

Senator Baldwin Criticizes President Trump's Trade War as Canadian Tariffs Impact Wisconsin Dairy and Paper Industries

Senator Baldwin Criticizes President Trump's Trade War as Canadian Tariffs Impact Wisconsin Dairy and Paper Industries

U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) has issued a statement on September 8th, criticizing President Trump's trade policies after Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on key Wisconsin exports, including dairy and paper products. These tariffs are a direct response to President Trump's earlier imposition of tariffs on Canadian goods and the abandonment of trade negotiations. Senator Baldwin highlighted that Wisconsin's dairy industry faces significant tariffs, with cheese varieties subject to a 25 percent tariff and milk powders, whey, and other dairy ingredients facing a 50 percent tariff. The state's paper industry, a national leader, is also affected, with corrugated boxes, coated papers, packaging, and tissue products facing mostly 50 percent retaliatory tariffs. Wisconsin's annual paper product sales to Canada exceed half a billion dollars, and Canada purchased nearly 28 percent of Wisconsin's total exports last year, amounting to over $7.5 billion.

Raymond Lee Stewart Executed for Six-Day Killing Spree in Illinois and Wisconsin

Raymond Lee Stewart Executed for Six-Day Killing Spree in Illinois and Wisconsin

Raymond Lee Stewart was executed by lethal injection on September 18, 1996, at Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill, Illinois. Stewart was a spree killer responsible for the deaths of six people across Illinois and Wisconsin during a six-day rampage in 1981. His victims included Willie Fredd and Albert Pearson in Rockford, two gas station attendants in Rockford (Kevin Kaiser and Kenny Foust), and Donald Rains and Richard Boeck in Beloit, Wisconsin. Stewart had a prior criminal record for gas station robberies, for which he served six years in prison. Years after the murders, in an audio recording made just days before his execution, Stewart claimed the killings were racially motivated acts of retaliation against Caucasians for the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and President John F. Kennedy. He stated that the victims had not provoked him and offered an apology.
