Anniversary of Trump’s Tariffs Marked by Higher Prices, Weaker Economy

Ahead of the first anniversary of President Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs on April 2, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement.

"The lasting legacy of Trump's sweeping tariffs will forever be higher prices and a weaker American economy. The cost of groceries, gas, health care, housing, and child care - the bedrock of family budgets - are all up, making it harder for families to make ends meet. Farmers and small businesses are getting crushed by higher overhead costs. Despite the Supreme Court ruling overturning these sweeping tariffs, the president doubled down with a new set of them, creating more chaos in the economy.

"It didn't have to be this way. Republicans could have worked with us to end this chaos months ago and returned to working on sensible trade policy that benefits families and our economy. I implore my colleagues to stand up for their constituents and help end the ongoing uncertainty around tariffs once and for all."
