Larsen Releases Statement on Senate Vote on Canadian Tariffs

Today, Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) released the following statement after the Senate voted 50-46 to strike down tariffs on Canada yesterday evening: “When the President stokes tensions with our Canadian neighbors, families in Northwest Washington state pay the price. The President’s pointless trade war has destroyed local businesses and driven up costs for the people I represent. The Administration should be working with Canada to reduce barriers between our two economies, create jobs and lower prices. Trade good, tariffs bad – it’s not complicated. “The Senate once again voted in a bipartisan fashion to overturn Trump’s tariff tax hikes on everyday Americans. It’s time for Mike Johnson and House Republicans to get serious and take action to end this stupid trade war. I remain committed to bringing down costs in Washington state and making the U.S.-Canada relationship boring again.” ###
