Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa has been actively involved in advocating for exemptions to President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canada. He recently expressed his approval of Trump's decision to pause tariffs on Mexico for a month and is hopeful that negotiations with Canada will prevent further discussions of imposing tariffs.
Grassley is particularly concerned about the impact of these tariffs on Iowa family farmers, as they heavily rely on potash fertilizer imported from Canada. He is urging Trump to consider exempting potash from the tariffs to protect the interests of these farmers.
