Las Vegas, Nev. – Today, U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) highlighted the devastating impacts the chaos of the Trump Administration’s tariffs have had on the cost of operating small businesses and on the American economy itself. President Donald Trump recently implemented sweeping new tariffs that will raise the cost of groceries, energy, and household goods for Nevada businesses and families and are impacting travel and tourism to Nevada. The Senator was joined by Co-Founder of Tacotarian Kristen Corral, CEO and Founder of Mothership Coffee Juanny Romero, and Owner of BAMBU Dessert Drinks Santy Luangpraseuth.
“In his first 100 days, President Trump has done nothing but create chaos and uncertainty, impacting hardworking families across the country,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “Nevada’s small businesses know better than anyone just how hard it has been to operate right now. I will never stop fighting for our small business owners.”
Senator Cortez Masto has continued to push the Trump Administration to address the impacts of Trump’s tariffs on working families. Earlier this month, the Senator wrote a letter to the Administration demanding they provide their plan to mitigate the economic stress caused by the implementation of President Donald Trump’s tariffs and other executive actions. During a Senate Finance Committee hearing, Cortez Masto pressed U.S. Trade Representative Greer about the impacts of President Trump’s blanket tariffs on Nevadans, particularly those employed in the tourism and hospitality industry. The Senator introduced the Tariff Transparency Act to require the U.S. International Trade Commission to investigate how Donald Trump’s recent tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada will impact the American people and make that information public.
