Trump says tomato (tariff), we say Arizona is screwed
The Trump administration is withdrawing from an agreement on tomato imports from Mexico that will place a 21% tariff on the products.
Arizona U.S. Rep. Greg Stanton bluntly pointed out the problem with this.
He wrote, “Trump’s decision screws over Arizona. By ripping up this trade agreement, he’ll cost our state’s economy more than $3.4 billion. He’ll put 22,000 Arizonans out of work. And he’ll raise tomato prices by more than half, at a time when we should be working to lower costs.”
Stanton is not alone.
