Democratic lawmakers criticizing President Donald Trump's tariff on Canada, Mexico and China after supporting several tax hikes under the Biden administration.
The tariffs on Canada and China are set to go into effect at midnight, but Trump announced on Monday that he would pause the tariff on Mexico for one month after discussions with President Claudia Sheinbaum. However, as the tariffs loom, Democrats are claiming they could drive up bills for everyday Americans, despite supporting several tax hikes under the Biden administration.

"This is a terrible idea," Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said in a statement. "Folks are already struggling to get ahead because of high prices, and now President Trump is about to drive up grocery and gas prices while raising costs on Arizona businesses."
