 Schumer To Trump: Dump These Damaging Tariffs To Lower Costs & Forget Renaming Our Beloved Lake Ontario

HAPPENING TOMORROW IN OSWEGO AT 1:30 PM – With Trump’s tariffs driving nearly two straight years of declining tourism and skyrocketing costs, U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer will stand at the Port of Oswego with Central New York business owners being crushed by President Trump’s tariff war and announce his legislation – the End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act – to revoke and refund Trump’s most recent tariffs, including 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. Schumer will say that as Trump makes threats to annex Canada and rename Upstate New York’s beloved Lake Ontario, costs for families, seniors, and small businesses are skyrocketing. Schumer will say his bill is key to reversing the damage inflicted by these tariffs and lowering costs. Schumer’s End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act would revoke and refund the latest barrage of tariffs, including Trump’s 50% Canadian tariffs, and repeal the archaic authorities he has used to escalate his reckless tariff war with the United States’ closest trading partner and ally, Canada.

Schumer will be joined by Port of Oswego Executive Director Tom Drumm, Eagle Metalcraft Operations Manager Kevin Pelc, Sterling House Farms Owner & Operator Ed Pierce, City of Oswego Mayor Robert Corradino, Oswego County Legislature Minority Leader Marie Schmidt, Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce Executive DirectorSarah Broadwell, SUNY Oswego Assistant Vice President Kara Jones, and others.
