Jeanne Shaheen in 2018 NH Governor's race

On Free Trade: Opposes tariffs on steel and aluminum imports

Shaheen said, "These tariffs could negatively impact every sector of New Hampshire's economy and will undoubtedly drive up costs for consumers. There's no question that we need to address unfairly traded steel from China, but we must do so in a way that doesn't start a trade war that puts NH's economy at risk and unnecessarily cuts off markets for NH's businesses, such as Canada."

Shaheen added, "President Trump's impulsive announcement is already sending shock waves across the world markets. It's time the president listened to experts who understand that launching a trade war will kill jobs and hurt families across our country."
