Welch Outlines Cost of Trump Tariffs for Vermont on Senate Floor.

Published | Video Starts at 13:39

So, Mr. President, I too am very relieved, actually, on behalf of the people of Vermont and the people in New Hampshire and the people of this country that there's been a temporary pause in these tariffs. But the uncertainty goes on. There will be no more justification in 30 days from now to impose these tariff taxes... than there is today. And today there's no justification. And in 30 days there'll be no justification. And I would call upon the President to get real in accepting the consequences to everyday families, to small businesses. (13:39–13:56)
