BOSTON – Governor Maura Healey today released the following statement in response to President Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on imports from more than 80 countries:
“Even after the Supreme Court told President Trump that his previous tariffs were illegal, he’s still choosing to double down on this failed policy. We already know that this will result in higher costs, negative impacts to businesses and weakened American competitiveness. Nobody can afford this. We need a President who actually cares about the number one issue facing the American people – affordability. I’m going to keep working every day in Massachusetts to lower the cost of housing, energy and health care, and I’m going to keep standing up to the damage President Trump is doing to our people and our economy.”
Earlier this year, Governor Healey demanded a $1,745 refund for every Massachusetts household for the financial harm caused by President Trump’s unconstitutional tariffs. She also launched the Massachusetts Tariff Response and Business Operations Support Initiative to align state resources to aid Massachusetts businesses.
