Tony Evers on Free Trade

 

 


Trump's tariffs are not good for our country, simple as that

Evers says he's bracing for how Trump's tariffs will affect Wisconsin, arguing Tuesday that it will hurt the state's budget process and several key industries. Speaking on the day import taxes went into effect on goods from the United States' top three trading partners, Evers said there are other ways to make trade fairer for America. "This is not good for our country. Simple as that," Evers said. "It sucks. It's bad. It's no good. I'm irritated."

Build Wisconsin's dairy brand in international markets

We've endured the consequences of unnecessary and unproductive tariffs and trade wars. The package of bills we'll announce includes a bill creating the Wisconsin Initiative for Dairy Exports. We have to start maximizing efficiency in our small and middle-sized farms, and we need to build Wisconsin's dairy brand in international markets and increase dairy exports. So, we're going to set a goal of increasing Wisconsin's dairy exports to 20 percent of the United States' milk supply by 2024.
