Sen Baldwin says proposed tariffs with Canada, Mexico and China could cripple WI farms

MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — US Senator Tammy Baldwin says proposed tariffs from the Trump Administration could cripple Wisconsin farms.

The Wisconsin Democrat says any country hit with American tariffs isn’t going to roll over.

“Tariffs will likely be met with retaliatory tariffs. We know that we’ll lose export markets,” Baldwin said. “We know that we will have a lot of pain to endure.”

Baldwin says any cost increase that manufacturers and businesses see in those tariffs will be simply passed on to consumers. On Monday, the Trump administration paused 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico for one month.
