US EditionPritzker Signs Executive Order Responding to Impact of Tariffs on Illinois
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The administration defends tariffs as essential for national security and manufacturing, with National Economic Council projecting $3 trillion in revenue over the next decade.
- On Monday, Governor JB Pritzker issued an executive directive requiring Illinois state agencies to assess the effects of tariffs introduced by President Trump and propose strategies to address their impact.
- The order follows the announcement of 30% tariffs set to begin August 1 targeting Mexico and the EU, as part of President Trump’s broader strategy of imposing trade barriers on major US trading partners.
- Seven state agencies are tasked with evaluating how tariffs affect critical areas such as nutrition, healthcare, essential public systems, and disaster response materials, and must provide recommendations to address these effects by October 22.
- Pritzker stated that tariffs act like a tax hike for consumers and create instability in the economy, while a Yale Budget Lab report estimates that these tariffs could raise annual household expenses by more than $4,000.
- The executive order aims to address supply chain disruptions and higher prices that harm Illinois businesses and consumers, reflecting broader multi-state efforts to counteract tariff impacts.
