WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement after President Trump resumed the implementation of his across-the-board tariffs on imported goods from Mexico and Canada. These 25 percent tariffs essentially amount to additional taxes on consumers who buy products coming into the United States from our biggest trading partners. Senator Rosen spoke up against these tariffs when they were originally announced, but they were paused for a month, expiring today.
“Nevadans are already being squeezed by rising costs, and President Trump’s reckless actions are only going to drive prices up even more,” said Senator Rosen. “He has effectively enacted a new tax on American businesses and families for products imported from Canada and Mexico, which will be felt at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and when buying a home. I’ll do everything in my power to fight back against this action and help lower costs for Nevada families.”
