Utah Political Leaders Recognize Potential Impact of Tariffs on State Economy


Republican Senate leaders in Utah have expressed support for President Trump’s decision to impose tariffs, despite acknowledging that it will have an impact on the state’s economy. The decision to pause tariffs against Mexico and Canada for 30 days was made in order to allow both nations to enhance their border security measures. Approximately 20% of Utah jobs are linked to international trade, highlighting the potential effects of tariffs on the state.

While Senate President J. Stuart Adams emphasized the need to address the fentanyl crisis, Senate Minority Leader Luz Escamilla expressed concerns about the negative impact of tariffs on Utah families. Some lawmakers, like Senate Majority Whip Chris Wilson, who is an auto dealer that imports parts from Canada, may be personally affected by the tariffs but still voiced support for President Trump’s decision.

Governor Spencer Cox’s office refrained from commenting on the tariffs, directing inquiries to World Trade Center Utah, which is already assisting Utah businesses in adjusting to changing trade policies. WTC Utah is working with companies to develop contingency plans, optimize supply chains, explore new markets, and access funding in order to help businesses stay competitive amidst global economic challenges. The organization is committed to supporting Utah businesses in navigating the rapidly changing global trade landscape.
