Fischer Statement on Tariffs

Statement

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, released the following statement today on President Trump's announcement of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports:

"I support the need to modernize our trade agreements, but I am concerned about the impact these new tariffs on steel and aluminum will have on Nebraska agriculture. For months, I have been working with my colleagues in Congress and the Trump administration to clearly communicate the need to maintain market access for our world-class ag producers and manufacturers. I met in person with President Trump in December and I had breakfast with White House Chief of Staff General Kelly this week. In these meetings, I stressed the importance of agriculture to Nebraska's economy."
