Gallego Warns Trade War with Canada Will Hurt AZ Economy

Az Senator Ruben Gallego criticized President Donald Trump's decision to increase tariffs on Canada, warning that both countries could face economic downturns if they enter a trade war. The current tariffs stand at 50% for some imports, which Gallego believes is detrimental to Arizona's economy.

Gallego pointed out that Canadian tariffs have negatively impacted Arizona's economy, citing the housing shortage as an example. He stated that 'We already are seeing some of the ramifications of this,' and emphasized the reliance on Canadian timber.
