Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) highlighted his concern for trade in his state after President Trump’s tariffs went into effect, calling his behavior “erratic.”
Moore joined CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, where he pointed to the shipping port in Baltimore and state’s role in international trade. “We’re already seeing the impacts of these …. Disastrous, and frankly, not very well thought out policies when it comes to tariffs,” Moore said. “You know, tariffs are a tool. They’re not an ideology, but this administration is using it like an ideology.”
Moore noted that decisions are being made “to us” and not with thought about how they will impact Americans. Trump’s 25 percent tariff plan went into effect earlier this month, impacting Canada and Mexico. China was also handed another 10 percent tariff and the president has promised to impose reciprocal tariffs for other countries.
“We’re already seeing how this is going to have a significant impact on the Port of Baltimore, which is really one of … the country’s largest and most effective ports,” he said. Moore also noted that there is an impact on farmers in his state.
