Tenney should look at her own actions for unstable Canadian trade relationship
Editor:
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney’s attempt to blame the poor economic conditions for farmers on Canadian policies shows Ms. Tenney’s incompetence.
This administration came into office and scrapped the trade agreement they had negotiated between Mexico and Canada, and arbitrarily and capriciously established tariffs, transforming a stable partnership into a contentious one.
Businesses cannot operate in an environment where one side discards the rules of trade on a whim. Canada, like any business, looks to do business with stable partners. As a Congresswoman, Ms. Tenney has the responsibility to oversee the use of tariffs and represent her constituents’ economic interests, including those of farmers in her district.
It is because of her actions as a Congresswoman that farmers in her district are suffering economically.
