WASHINGTON-On the Senate Floor, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) spoke in opposition to the Congressional Republican budget resolution, which does nothing to stop President Trump's tariff taxes that will increase costs by nearly $4,000 for the average family.

"These sweeping tariffs are taxes that will raise costs for everything from medicine and food to clothes and housing," said Klobuchar. "You already see the damage, the impact was immediate. Yesterday, the stock market fell almost 5% - the worst day since the pandemic crash in March of 2020-and today it continues to fall. Small businesses are freezing investments. Retailers, manufacturers and farmers are in limbo. …. This chaos and this uncertainty are hurting our economy.

"We can and we should stand up to unfair trade practices. I have been a long believer in targeted use of tariffs … but what he is doing here, with these across-the-board tariffs, is reckless."
