Collins: White House underestimates Canada tariffs' toll on Maine

Sen. Susan Collins says the White House has underestimated the micro-impact of Canada tariffs on Maine’s families, small manufacturers and farmers, urging new negotiations after discussions with VP JD Vance and USTR Jamieson Greer. Maine’s economy depends heavily on Canada (roughly 40% of exports), and tariffs could raise costs for steel, paper, dairy and road salt, a point Democrats are leveraging in her tight 2026 reelection campaign.
