Mayor Eric Adams has opted for a cautious response to President Trump's recent tariff increases, stating his administration will analyze their potential economic impact on New Yorkers. While acknowledging concerns from local politicians about price hikes and implications for local businesses, Adams also supports the tariffs as a means to enhance border security. Recent agreements delay tariffs on Mexico and Canada as negotiations continue. Adams underscores the necessity of maintaining safety in the city in light of security concerns regarding undocumented migrants and potential threats.
"I am taking a wait-and-see approach to President Trump's tariff increases on imports, as we need to analyze their impact on our economy."
"We have to make sure that our borders are secure; when you hear those entering who are on the terrorist watch list, we need to ensure a safe city."
