Senator Peter Welch hosted a discussion in Vermont with business owners affected by the Trump administration's tariffs on Canadian goods. These tariffs disrupt a historically stable trade relationship. Canadian officials express deep concern, highlighting emotional and sovereignty issues in response to U.S. actions. Local business owners, including those in agriculture and brewing, shared how these tariffs lead to increased costs and stress, making it challenging for them to operate effectively. Welch emphasized the need to maintain strong ties between the U.S. and Canada.
"All the tariffs and the changing political atmosphere, it's just made it extremely disruptive. We don't need this extra stress on top of it."
"The threat is over and above tariffs right now. I'm even a bit emotional when I say that because it's a threat against our sovereignty."
