The latest price-raising tariffs on imported goods comes after a February Supreme Court ruling that struck down a broad swath of Trump\u2019s trade regime. Today, U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cOnce again, President Trump is driving up prices on the American people and small businesses. These capricious, unwarranted levies are stoking inflation, severing critical economic partnerships, and needlessly causing uncertainty for U.S. businesses that need stability to plan for the future.\n\n\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s incoherent trade strategy is creating real financial hardships for Americans across the country. Even the Wall Street Journal acknowledged this week: \u201cPresident Trump is conceding that his blunderbuss border taxes are harming U.S. business as other countries retaliate,\u201d the paper\u2019s editorial board wrote. \u201cSo now he\u2019s whacking Canada harder for punching back. The trade brawl could leave both countries with more bruises than a hockey fight.\u201d\n\n\u201cAnd the New York Times notes: \u201cEffective tariff rates are going to change on Friday for the 45th time in the last 18 months \u2014 an average of once every 12 days.\u201d\n\n\u201cAs President Trump tries to flout the court and circumvent Congress, it\u2019s past time for Republicans to finally join Democrats in standing up to President Trump to end his price hiking tariff regime. Enough is enough.\u201d", 1, "2026-07-24T07:30:11Z", "2026-07-24T07:31:13Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.reed.senate.gov/news/releases/reed-statement-on-trumps-latest-round-of-price-hiking-tariffs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8507912755012512, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
