Jay Peak's president talks tariffs at U.S. Senate
WASHINGTON, D.C. (ABC22/FOX44) – 'If I start escalating costs to Canadians at the same time we're continuing to whack them with this reckless narrative about their sovereignty, I'm going to lose half of my business.' Vermont Senator Peter Welch on Wednesday brought Steve Wright, president and general manager of the Jay Peak ski resort, to a forum on the impact of recent tariffs on tourism, farming, and manufacturing industries. The forum was hosted by senators Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, and attended by 11 senators, all members of the Democratic Party. Canadians call off Vermont vacations over Trump policies President Donald Trump has said that tariffs can be an effective way to negotiate. The official White House website says, 'tariffs would create new incentives for US consumers to buy US-made products.' However, Wright warned about a 'catastrophic amount of trouble' caused by Canadians' unwillingness to spend money in the U.S. Wright's remarks focused on the impact of statements like Trump's suggestion in February that Canada become the country's '51st state', but he also talked about the higher prices he has seen as a result, citing a purchase of a new chairlift that abruptly increased in price by up to 50 percent. Vermont and North Country leaders on Trump's 'trade war' with Canada 'We are curious as to when the upside of this anti-Canadian rhetoric starts to present itself,' said Wright, 'because… along the northern border, we are presently living right in the middle of its downside.'
