But these latest announcements \u2014 in the middle of a heated campaign season \u2014 triggered a more blunt response about the impacts.<\/p><p>\u201cBesides being good neighbors, Canada is also North Dakota\u2019s largest export market, making any deterioration of our trade relationship needlessly painful for North Dakotans,\u201d Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota) said in a statement to NOTUS. \u201cCanada is not China, and our policies ought to reflect the strategic benefits we get from having strong economies, bolstered by free and fair trade, on both sides of the border. However, I am confident things will get on track.\u201d<\/p><p>After trade negotiations between the Trump administration and Canada <span><u>broke down <\/u><\/span>over the weekend, Trump imposed tariffs on about $28 billion in Canadian imports and vowed to impose additional levies on cars, trucks, automotive parts and steel if a deal isn\u2019t reached by Jan. 1, 2027. Canada retaliated with its own tariffs on U.S. goods and is now looking overseas to other trading partners like the European Union.<\/p><p>The trade spat will be felt particularly in states along the U.S.-Canadian border, including Maine, where vulnerable Republican Sen. Susan Collins is battling for election to a sixth term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImposing tariffs on Canada is a mistake,\u201d Collins <span><u>reiterated<\/u><\/span> during a campaign stop Monday, asserting that Trump\u2019s policies would hurt U.S. businesses and raise the price of lobsters, blueberries, lumber and other Maine products.<\/p><p>\u201cI really want us to go back to the very friendly, economically beneficial relationship that we have with our Canadian neighbors,\u201d she said.<\/p><p>Collins skipped a rally with Vice President JD Vance in Brewer, Maine, on Monday, citing a scheduling conflict. At the event, Vance <span><u>defended<\/u><\/span> the administration\u2019s tariffs and urged the Canadian government to \u201cstop taking advantage of the people of Maine\u201d by implementing a fairer trade policy.<\/p><p>In New Hampshire, another state that shares a border with Canada, John Sununu, the top Republican Senate contender, said a trade war \u201cmakes no sense\u201d and urged the Trump administration to work out a deal.<\/p><p>\u201cCanada is an ally. They\u2019re an important trading partner, fairly important to travel and tourism,\u201d Sununu, a former U.S. senator, told <span><u>WKBK<\/u><\/span> radio. \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t have tariffs on building materials. Housing costs are being driven by inflation in building materials, and we don\u2019t need to add tariffs on top of that.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2983\">Trump Asks the Supreme Court to Back Asylum Ban at U.S.-Mexico Border<\/a><\/p><p>Trump\u2019s policies are also putting Republican candidates on the defensive in Michigan, Ohio and Alaska, states that count Canada as an important trading partner.<\/p>\n<p>In Michigan, Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed accused Trump of escalating a trade fight with Canada \u201cfor his own vanity,\u201d adding that his Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, is a \u201crubber stamp\u201d for his policies.<\/p><p>\u201cEven before this new round, Canadian tariffs were costing Michigan families an additional $3,200 a year. It\u2019s going to get much worse,\u201d El Sayed wrote in a <span><u>post<\/u><\/span> online. Rogers has <span><u>defended<\/u><\/span> Trump\u2019s use of tariffs as a means to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.<\/p><p>Polls show voters have major concerns about Trump\u2019s handling of the economy, including cost increases driven by his war with Iran. The latest Reuters\/Ipsos <span><u>poll<\/u><\/span> showed just 33 percent of Americans approve of Trump\u2019s job performance, the lowest mark of his second term.<\/p><p>Many Republicans also criticized Trump\u2019s decision to import tariff-free beef, which he argued is needed to lower consumer prices. But critics said it would harm American ranchers.<\/p><p>Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the No. 2 Senate Republican, wrote in a <span><u>post<\/u><\/span> online: \u201cAmericans want US beef on the table \u2014 not foreign imports.\u201d He added: \u201cWyoming ranchers produce the highest quality beef in the world. Our ranchers don\u2019t ask for special treatment. They simply want a fair marketplace. It needs to be easier \u2014 not harder \u2014 for Wyoming ranchers to feed America.\u201d<\/p><p>Iowa Rep. Ashley Hinson, a Republican running in one of the most competitive Senate races, called it a \u201c<span><u>bad idea<\/u><\/span>\u201d that would harm her constituents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe grow the highest quality beef here in Iowa, and so absolutely I\u2019ll be advocating to the administration because I think we need to be focusing on growing the herd the right way,\u201d she told reporters at the Iowa State Fair on Monday.<\/p><p>But Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vermont), whose state also borders Canada, said Republicans needed to do more than simply criticize Trump\u2019s economic policies by wresting back congressional authority to levy tariffs. A narrow bipartisan Senate majority has voted several times to roll back Trump\u2019s tariffs over the past year, but the Republican-controlled House has ignored that effort.<\/p><p>Trump \u201chas met his match\u201d with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Welch added.<\/p><p>\u201cCarney has decided to stand up to a bully \u2026 and what we need in this country is Republicans to stand up to that same bully,\u201d Welch said in an interview with NOTUS. \u201cMy Republican colleagues do not support tariffs. They know they\u2019re hurting their consumers and their businesses, and they know the president has no authority to impose them \u2014 literally none.\u201d<\/p><p>The Constitution gives Congress the power to levy tariffs, but both parties over time have ceded that authority to the executive.<\/p><p>\u201c[Republicans are] backing down, and there\u2019s going to be hell to pay in November as a result of that weak-kneed capitulation,\u201d Welch said.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2982\">The DOJ Pushes Forward on Trump\u2019s Mail-In Voting Agenda<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican lawmakers are criticizing the president\u2019s decision to impose new tariffs on Canada and import more foreign beef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2986,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
