WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senate Republicans blocked Senator Jacky Rosen’s (D-NV) attempt to pass her resolution denouncing Donald Trump’s hostile actions against Canada that are increasing prices for consumers and harming Nevada’s economy. The resolution calls for the removal of Trump’s new 50 percent cost-raising tariffs on Canadian products and demands that the President stop taking inflammatory actions that needlessly harm the U.S. relationship with Canada. Nevada has already felt the impact of President Trump’s reckless actions, with tourism from Canada to Las Vegas down 17 percent in the last year and tariffs causing prices to skyrocket across the board. Canada is Nevada’s second-largest export market, accounting for $1.6 billion in goods every year. Senator Rosen has been an outspoken critic of Trump’s attacks on Canada and their impact on Nevada. Earlier this month, Senator Rosen released a statement denouncing Trump’s trade war with Canada. She also helped introduce a bill that would repeal Trump’s new 50 percent cost-raising tariffs on Canada. Senator Rosen also met with the Consul General of Canada to discuss the relationship between Nevada and Canada, as well as the importance of Canadian visitors and products to Nevada’s economy. Below are Senator Rosen’s full remarks: Today, I rise to speak up against Donald Trump’s reckless trade war against Canada and the impact it is having on my state of Nevada. Because of Trump’s childish fight with our neighbor, tourism is down, prices are up, and Canada is rethinking its relationship with our country. Let me tell you why this matters for my state. Canada is the number one source of international visitors to Las Vegas. In 2024, nearly 1.5 million Canadians visited Nevada to help boost our tourism economy and the small businesses that depend on it. And Canada is also one of Nevada’s top trading partners. In fact, Nevada exports approximately $1.6 billion worth of goods to Canada. Think about it: $1.6 billion of revenue coming to businesses in my state of Nevada to further contribute to our economy. This is exactly why a good, healthy relationship between Canada and the United States is important for Nevada, Nevada’s economy, Nevada’s families. But Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to harm our relationship with Canada. He’s hurting Nevada families; he’s hurting Nevada businesses along the way. One of the first actions Trump took since returning to the White House was beginning a reckless and erratic trade war that has resulted in higher prices for American businesses. For American families, for all of us. Every single one of us. To date, he has imposed tariffs on many items we buy from Canada, with higher rates on products like building materials, brand-name prescription drugs, alcohol, and paper products. I’ve heard from restaurant owners paying more for paper towels and homebuilders paying more for materials. These costs not only make it impossible for our business owners to plan ahead, but they also get passed on to families. Most recently, Trump utilized a never-before-used trade authority- I want to emphasize this- a never-before-used trade authority to target Canada, applying 50 percent tariffs on a wide array of Canadian goods. In retaliation, Canada recently imposed their own tariffs on goods they import from the United States, including from my state of Nevada. Remember the $1.6 billion in Nevada goods we export to Canada? That number will likely be reduced because of these retaliatory tariffs. And just yesterday, Trump’s ban on the import of many Canadia
