Read my statement on voting to end President Trump’s “emergency” tariffs on Canada: 

“Tonight, I voted to end this president’s so-called ‘emergency’ tariffs on Canada, and the House successfully passed the bill.

“These tariffs have hurt our agricultural producers and small businesses, driven up costs for consumers, and damaged our country’s important relationship with our closest neighbor and ally. At a time when families are already facing higher prices, we should be lowering costs and strengthening partnerships, not fighting with our allies.

“Today’s vote is an important step toward restoring stability, reclaiming Congress’ authority over tariffs, and reinforcing the strong economic ties that benefit both of our nations.”
