Sanders Statement on Trump Tariffs’ Impact on Vermont [1]

[]

Date: 2025-04

BURLINGTON, Feb. 2 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement after President Trump announced tariffs on Canada and Mexico.

President Trump’s unilateral decision to impose a 25 percent tariff on Canada and Mexico is most likely illegal and most definitely harmful. Economists estimate that these tariffs will increase costs for the average American family by as much as $1,200 a year. Given Vermont’s long-established economic ties with our Canadian neighbor, the impact on our state will be even greater. We need a rational and well-thought-out trade policy, not arbitrary actions from the White House. I will do everything possible to undo the damage that Trump’s tariffs are causing working families in Vermont and across the country.
