MORRISON, KELLY "which we've discussed some this morning, which assists small businesses in entering or expanding into international markets. One of the consequences of the President's tariffs have been retaliatory tariffs against the United States from other countries, causing even more uncertainty for small businesses interested in participating in foreign trade. Throughout last year, as the President's placed tariffs on Canadian cars, aluminum, steel, and lumber, Canada responded with retaliatory tariffs against the United States, restricting exports to our neighbors to the north for Minnesotan small..."

"No, I will tell you, it is really difficult to determine basically what would happen if tariffs and then retaliatory and when we go back and forth. But as I stated before, it is a concern. Retaliatory tariffs typically affect especially the crop industry. And unfortunately, we don't have the shelf life, we don't have the legs to withstand something like that. And so I recall last time, you know, USDA came up with some funding to help farmers, especially crops, for instance, and that is..."

"Trade is vitally important to agriculture, as more than 95% of the world's consumers live outside of the United States, and nearly one-third of U.S. farm income comes from exports.

As farmers and ranchers work to secure equity to continue operating in 2025, the economic uncertainty has made it difficult for bankers to extend"

"district immediately heard that prescheduled orders were being canceled, that their products would no longer be prioritized, and that their Canadian partners could no longer trust that they could rely on a stable trade partnership with U.S. exporters. Whether the impacts are on end products like wines or commodities themselves, a trade war with Canada and our other largest trading partners would have severe consequences for U.S. producers and clearly for those of us in Oregon.

"I think the one way to capture sort of the essence of your question is to reflect back on both the successes of USMCA in creating that highly predictable stream of commerce between three countries, but also what happens when there's disruption. Canada, as you may recall, laid down retaliatory tariffs in 2025 to the order of 25 percent in response to the IEPA tariffs that we imposed on some Canadian products. And those retaliatory tariffs went, among other products, against fruits such as all..."
