Sen. Mitch McConnell criticized President Donald Trump's tariff policies, warning in an op-ed that protectionist trade measures could harm Kentucky's economy and burden American consumers.
So far during Trump's second term, the president has implemented tariffs on imports from China, Mexico and Canada. During his first term, similar tariffs triggered retaliatory measures that raised costs for businesses and consumers. Kentucky, a major exporter of bourbon, agricultural goods, and auto parts, was particularly affected.
