Trump Heads to Michigan Amid Fears Over Canadian Tariffs
President Donald Trump is set to defend his economic policies in Michigan, where new Canadian tariffs have raised concerns about their impact on businesses. The Republican president will tour a General Motors facility in Milford on Monday and address the tariffs that include those on imported cars and auto parts. Michigan's economy relies heavily on trade with Canada, and these tariffs are likely to sting local businesses.
The visit comes ahead of Michigan's August 4 primary and as early voting is underway. One Republican Senate candidate is holding a 'Trump Tailgate' outside the president's event, despite Trump endorsing his opponent. The Democratic Senate primary between Rep. Haley Stevens and progressive Abdul El-Sayed has drawn national attention.
