May 1, 2025 - WASHINGTON, DC – On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) voted to pass a bipartisan Congressional resolution to reverse Trump’s chaotic, across-the-board tariffs on goods from around the world that have raised prices for families and hurt Nevada’s businesses and economy. Unfortunately despite these efforts, extreme Republicans voted to block its passage. Since the beginning of his term, Trump has imposed tariffs on nearly every country in the world, creating uncertainty and devastating the economy. Reports today highlighted that, due to Trump’s economic policies, the economy shrank for the first time since 2022.

“Trump’s reckless, sweeping tariffs are having disastrous effects on hardworking families, small businesses, and Nevada’s tourism economy,” said Senator Rosen. “These tariffs are not only raising the costs of everyday essentials, they are also squeezing families’ budgets and leading to lower visitation numbers for tourist destinations like Las Vegas. I voted to pass this bipartisan resolution in the Senate to reverse Trump’s tariffs, and I’m extremely disappointed that my Republican colleagues decided to block it. I won’t stop fighting against this Administration’s chaotic policies that hurt hardworking families.”

In the Senate, Senator Rosen has been fighting back against President Trump’s reckless tariffs and the destructive impacts they’re having on Nevada’s economy. Earlier this month, she visited Orucase, a local outdoor recreation small business in Reno, to discuss how President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs are harming Nevada’s economy. Rosen also recently led Senate colleagues in demanding that the Trump Administration reverse course on tariffs and provide relief for small businesses. Additionally, Senator Rosen helped pass a resolution in the Senate to overturn Trump’s tariffs on Canada.
