welcome everyone Mayors from 30 cities on either side of the Canada US border came to Washington this week with a message for the US president this trade War needs to end we all understand how interconnected our economy is what's good for one of us is good for the other what's uh problematic or what's dare say it bad for one of us is going to be bad for the other the mayor of Portage Indiana a steel Town says the jobs of us workers are on the line while in Mount Vernon New York alator tariffs on Ontario
electricity exports could cost families an extra $2,000 a year anything that can put an end uh to the trade war and really drill down and focus on what the real issues are so that we don't have blanket tariffs I think will be important to the average New York New York working family what we are trying to do is make Free Trade Fair Trade because the the trading systems have become incred imbalanced G while the US Treasury secretary took to CNBC Friday to defend the president's actions on tariffs the US Stock Market limped to the end
of its worst week and months it's absolute chaos unprecedented in US history what it is doing is depressing investment in the business sector and in agriculture Americans are taking greater notice of Canadian anger now too in headlines making reference to the elbows up hockey call action on CNN and viral social media posts like author Stephen King sharing a shot of this angry graffiti scrolled on Calgary's Center Street Bridge the move to take us alcohol off Canadian shelves also getting American attention on late night talk shows and from us alcohol CEOs but whether any of this
can stop the chaos seems unlikely with a US president determined to follow through on his tariff plans at some point somehow me to all right Heather urx West in Washington thanks Heather
