Michigan Republican Rogers calls for end to Canada tariff fight, breaking with Trump again

Rogers says the tariff war is raising costs for Michigan businesses and consumers as he breaks with Trump on a key campaign issue.

  • On October 7, Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers broke with President Donald Trump in a new advertisement, calling to end tariffs on Canada, America's largest trading partner.
  • President Trump imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods, heavily impacting Michigan. Rogers defended tariffs as "necessary" in Aug, but now shifts amid mounting opposition.
  • "Here in Michigan, we know that Canada is not our enemy," Rogers says in the 30-second spot. He adds, "We need to end this tariff war — now."
  • Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has frequently criticized both Trump and Rogers over the trade fight. The Senate race is critical to control of the chamber, with more than 200,000 ballots cast.
  • This advertisement marks the second time in recent weeks Rogers has diverged from the president, previously calling for the Iran war to "end quickly" as he competes for the seat held by Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.
