President Trump has ended trade negotiations with Canada, a move that New York Governor Kathy Hochul described as “an impulsive and costly mistake that New Yorkers will pay for through higher prices and lost opportunities.”
Governor Hochul emphasized the importance of the economic relationship between New York and Canada. She stated, “Canada is our top trading partner. Thousands of New York businesses, farmers, and border communities depend on that relationship. Tourism from Canada powers our economy from Niagara Falls to Montauk Point.”
She criticized the administration’s rationale for ending the talks, saying, “This administration’s decision to end talks simply because of an ad is petty, shortsighted, and harmful. New Yorkers deserve better than personal grudges that drive up costs and risk our livelihoods.”
