Congressman Cohen Statement on Trump Tariffs

MEMPHIS - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) took note of today's stock market response to the Trump tariffs and made the following statement:

"Trump's tariff wars are making everything more expensive. And it's about to get worse. And while we're paying more for food, medicine, appliances and car repairs, the GOP wants to slash Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP and more to give billionaires a tax cut. They do not care about working people. Tariffs are taxes. The stock market is a measure of Trump's economic folly. Trump has wrecked our thriving economy and our social safety and health network. '47' is a monstrous, out-of-control man-child. And Howard Lutnick is a cheerleader, not a commerce secretary."
