Gov. Polis: It’s Not ‘Liberation Day’ But Sadly Recession Day as Trump Creates Biggest Tax Hike in U.S. History

DENVER - Colorado Governor Jared Polis released a statement on President Trump's latest tariff tax hike.

"I am deeply saddened by this Trump tax hike that increases costs on everything while also increasing the size of government by charging people more. These deeply damaging tariffs are sending the market in a downward spiral, hurting businesses, devastating manufacturing, and damaging our economy, which will lead to more inflation and recession fears," said Governor Polis. "I urge Colorado's members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to reject these tariffs, which will raise the cost of groceries, housing, and much more for hardworking Coloradans."

Gov. Polis has been an outspoken opponent of the President's tariffs, urging the federal government to focus on free trade and expanding American-made products. Gov. Polis hosted a Colorado-Canada friendship day with the state's largest trading partner.
