Rosen: “President Trump has effectively enacted a new tax on Americans”

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement after the Trump Administration announced that President Trump is implementing a 25% across-the-board tariff on imported goods from Mexico and Canada, the top trading partners for the United States.
“President Trump has effectively enacted a new tax on Americans for anything imported from Canada and Mexico,”said Senator Rosen.“His across-the-board tariffs are going to drive up costs for hardworking families on essential items, including groceries and housing. At a time when Nevadans are already being squeezed by high costs, this action is only going to hurt families.”
