Maryland Gov. Wes Moore Criticizes Trump Tariffs as Harmful to State Economy

Moore highlights impacts on the Port of Baltimore, farmers, and small businesses, citing 'erratic' decision-making by the Trump administration.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore described the Trump administration's tariffs as 'disastrous' for the state's economy during an appearance on CBS's 'Face the Nation.'
The 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, along with additional tariffs on China, are already affecting Maryland's Port of Baltimore and Eastern Shore farmers.
Moore criticized the administration's approach as 'erratic' and 'indecisive,' leading to unpredictability for businesses and rising costs for consumers.
The tariffs are part of a broader trade policy that has sparked tensions with international partners, including threats of retaliatory measures from Canada.
Maryland's economy faces additional challenges under Trump’s policies, including federal workforce cuts and the decision to keep the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., rather than relocating it to Maryland.
