Rick Bennett on Free Trade

 

 


Maine's economy is tightly connected to Canada

This tariff escalation is another reminder that working people and small businesses usually get stuck paying for political chaos. Maine's economy is tightly connected to Canada, so when trade talks collapse and tariffs jump, our border communities, producers, retailers, and families feel it. It's important Maine has its own elevated relations with our Canadian neighbors. That's why, as Governor, I will appoint a Maine Ambassador to Canada to look after our interests and push opportunities.
