United States Senator from Delaware, Lisa Blunt Rochester, has alleged that President Donald Trump is making moves to increase the cost of goods in the market.
The Democratic lawmaker was reacting to tariffs imposed on various nations by the Trump administration.
By imposing tariffs on imports from these countries, Trump had instigated trade wars between the United States and its largest economic partners, including Canada, Mexico, and China.
Reacting, Senator Blunt Rochester, in a post on her X account on Wednesday, claimed that the imposition of tariffs would alienate U.S. allies and could lead to higher product prices.
She wrote, “Don’t be fooled: every time he says ‘tariffs’, Trump is talking about alienating our allies and raising the cost of everything you buy.
“He doesn’t care about you; he cares about the chaos he can use as a distraction to enrich himself and his friends.”
