Washington, D.C. – Today, following reporting[1] about the devastating costs for New York families and workers stemming from President Trump’s tariffs, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement:

“The numbers don’t lie. President Trump’s tariffs are hitting New Yorkers like a sledgehammer. They are driving up costs, putting jobs at risk, and acting as a hidden tax on working families. President Trump needs to get serious about protecting American jobs and stop taxing families. These tariffs are economic self-sabotage, and New Yorkers are paying the price.”

According to a report[2] released today by the office of New York Governor Kathy Hochul, the Trump administration’s tariffs are costing New York households an estimated $4,200 annually and could jeopardize 500,000 jobs tied to trade and manufacturing in the state.
