Senate Republicans Blocked Rosen Resolution Condemning Trump’s Actions Against Canada
WASHINGTON, DC – This week, U.S. Senate Republicans blocked Senator Jacky Rosen’s (D-NV) attempt to pass her resolution denouncing Donald Trump’s hostile actions against Canada that are increasing prices for consumers and harming Nevada’s economy. The resolution calls for the removal of Trump’s new 50 percent cost-raising tariffs on Canadian products and demands that the President stop taking inflammatory actions that needlessly harm the U.S. relationship with Canada. Nevada has already felt the impact of President Trump’s reckless actions, with tourism from Canada to Las Vegas down 17 percent in the last year and tariffs causing prices to skyrocket across the board. Canada is Nevada’s second-largest export market, accounting for $1.6 billion in goods every year.

Anchor: “En otros temas, le cuento que la senadora por Nevada Jacky Rosen anunció este miércoles una resolución que busca poner fin a los nuevos aranceles del 50% impuestos por el presidente Donald Trump a Canadá. Rosen asegura que la guerra comercial está afectando la economía de Nevada, particularmente el turismo, ya que Canadá es la principal fuente de visitantes internacionales para el estado. También criticó otras acciones de la administración contra el país vecino y llamó a fortalecer la relación entre ambas naciones.”

Anchor: “Senator Jacky Rosen is pushing back on President Trump’s trade war with Canada. Senator Rosen’s resolution is calling for President Trump to remove a 50% tariff on Canada after she says it has negatively affected international travel and tourism.”
Senator Rosen: “Canadian spending in the U.S. declined by more than $3 billion last year, and that means less money for hospitality workers and less money being spent in our local economy.”
Anchor: “Senator Rosen also went on to say that Nevada businesses export a large amount of goods to Canada, but with Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on the U.S., she believes that number will go down. Her resolution comes as President Trump’s ban on most Canadian alcohol imports went into effect yesterday. The move impacts about $800 million worth of Canadian booze imported into the U.S. last year.”

Anchor: “A bill intended to stop President Trump’s 50% tariffs against Canada has been blocked. Well, the bill was introduced by Senator Jacky Rosen, who says that tariffs have increased prices for consumers and are harming Nevada’s economy… She calls the tariffs hostile and says the move has impacted tourism statewide. Senate Republicans, on the other hand, say that the president is already trying to resolve the conflict between the two countries.”
Senator Rosen: “Tourism is down because of Trump’s trade war with Canada. Less money is being invested in our economy, and our small businesses are struggling to navigate expensive and constantly, constantly changing conditions.”
