Schumer: Republicans Can Either Stick with Trump’s Tariffs or Stand with Their States and the People of America

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Mr. President, later this afternoon, senators Wyden, Kaine, and I will force a vote here in the Senate to put an end to Donald Trump’s stupid and reckless trade war. I thank Senator Wyden and Kaine for their leadership on this issue, and we will have now more than three hours of debate on it, and that begins now. Our resolution presents Republicans with a choice: Stand with Donald Trump or stand with American families hurt by his trade war. The dismal GDP numbers today should be a wake-up call to Republican senators, now more than ever. Four Republicans joined us last time to pass a resolution blocking tariffs on Canada because they knew how bad those tariffs were for people back home. Many more Republicans should join us today, as the disastrous economic consequences of Trump’s reckless trade war get worse every single day. And if the Senate passes this bill, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans should immediately drop their opposition or else they will be complicit in pushing America into a recession.”
