WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) today delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor.
John is hitting on this Small Business thing pretty hard right now, which is perplexing. On the one hand, he facilitates the Trump tariffs and we have widespread evidence across the country that small business owners a going to get tariffed out of business. The US Chamber of Commerce has a Trump Tariff clock ticking. So far, the Trump Tariffs have cost American small businesses well over $28 Billion – and according to the Chamber, an additional $9379 in tariffs are added every second. The US Chamber is mentioning terms like “irreprable harm.” So out of one side of his mouth, John’s talking about helping – from the other side, tariff you out of business. Washington has really changed John and it’s pretty disappointing to see.We all need to recognize that Thune is a driving force – even an expediter – of these tariffs.
