US EditionSen. Paul points to business-sector resistance to Trump's tariffs in solidly red Kentucky
- On Monday, GOP Sen. Rand Paul met with Louisville business leaders in solidly Republican Kentucky to discuss resistance to Trump's tariffs.
- This resistance arose from concerns across key sectors like agriculture, auto, bourbon, home building, and package shipping due to Trump's aggressive tariff policies.
- Paul, one of few GOP senators challenging Trump on tariffs, welcomed the U.S.-China 90-day truce made the same day to reduce massive tariffs and allow further negotiations.
- He noted that nearly all the businesses he has engaged with in Kentucky expressed dissatisfaction with tariffs, emphasizing that international trade has benefited consumers by lowering prices.
- Paul emphasized that tariffs are taxes, arguing Congress holds taxing power, and stated, "Anything we can do to bring down tariffs is good" while awaiting longer-term trade outcomes.
