Senators Looney and Duff: Connecticut Manufacturers Confirm Trump Tariffs Are Hurting Our Economy

Today, following a new report showing that 66% of Connecticut manufacturers say Trump’s tariffs are negatively impacting business, Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) released the following statement:

“Connecticut manufacturers are sounding the alarm on Trump’s tariffs. Local businesses are suffering from disrupted supply chains, higher costs, and unpredictability. Yet Connecticut Republicans refuse to live in the real world and admit the harsh reality that our own employers are living with. Democrats are working to lower costs and strengthen our manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, Connecticut Republicans are supporting a failed agenda that is toxic for our manufacturers and Connecticut’s economy. They dare not question Trump even when he is clearly wrong.”
