WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) voted to pass a Congressional resolution to reverse Trump’s devastating tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods that have raised prices for families and hurt Nevada’s businesses and economy. This resolution passed the U.S. Senate and now heads to the House of Representatives. Earlier this year, President Trump placed a 10 percent tariff on Canadian energy imports and a 25 percent tariff on all other Canadian goods, essentially placing a sales tax on the products Americans purchase every day. Canada is Nevada’s biggest export partner and the top nation from where visitors come to Las Vegas.
“At a time when Nevada families are already experiencing high prices, Donald Trump is making things more expensive for Nevadans by placing tariffs on nearly every good from Canada,” said Senator Rosen. “These sweeping tariffs amount to a national sales tax, and I voted with a bipartisan group of colleagues to reverse them and help deliver financial relief for Nevada families. I’m glad to see that this legislation passed in the Senate, and I’ll continue fighting to lower costs.”
Senator Rosen has been fighting back against Trump’s reckless tariffs and the destructive impacts they’re having on Nevada’s economy. She helped introduce legislation to require the United States International Trade Commission to investigate how Donald Trump’s recent tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada will impact the American people, and make that information public. Senator Rosen also sent a letter urging the Trump Administration to reverse course on imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico to prevent housing prices from rising even further.
