Rep. Stansbury: Imposing Tariffs Will Hurt Americans

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representative Melanie Stansbury (NM-01), issued the following statement after President Trump imposed more tariffs on the American people:

“Once again, Donald Trump and his administration are using hard-working Americans as props in their trade war with other countries. Imposing tariffs will hurt Americans, full stop.

“Trump’s handling of tariffs is not only reckless but shortsighted as it will hurt American farmers and manufacturers, crash markets, drive up prices, and undercut investments that keep jobs in America.

“Coupled with reckless cuts to vital federal programs and the social safety net, Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are putting the economy and American lives at risk. We must continue to push back on all fronts.”
