Mike Rogers Opposes Canada Tariffs

Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers released an ad calling for an end to the U.S.-Canada tariff war. He said Canada is not Michigan’s enemy and lowering prices should be his priority. The dispute matters in Michigan because Canada is a major trading partner, and the state’s auto industry relies heavily on cross-border trade. Trump’s administration imposed 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, and Trump has threatened tariffs on Canadian cars, auto parts and steel. Rogers had previously defended tariffs as necessary, while saying they were not a one-size-fits-all solution. Trump said Rogers was urging Canada to make a deal, not criticizing his policy.
