Unless Congress acts, American businesses will be subjected to more than $1 billion in retaliatorytariffs, and these costs will be passed on to American consumers. However, thesetariffs can be avoided. The reality is weve lost the battle to maintain the COOL mandatefour times. Arkansas farmers, manufactures and consumers cant afford to foot the bill for bad policy. If we dont resolve this dispute, it will have a negative impact on our economy. We must ensure that Arkansans are not caught in the middle of a dispute over well intended, but poorly crafted policy. Its time to end COOL." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
