CHENDER: Nova Scotia united, ready to respond to tariffs

HALIFAX – The following is a statement from Nova Scotia NDP Leader Claudia Chender:

“The decision of President Trump to move forward with tariffs on Tuesday will create serious economic uncertainty for our province and all Canadians.

Nova Scotians are united in our response to protect jobs and industry from these tariffs as part of a Team Canada response.

The immediate responses announced by Premier Houston last night are a good first step. Now, the Premier needs to convene a task force with labour, industry, Indigenous representatives, and political and community leaders to find the best path to support NS workers and businesses.

Nova Scotia is a resilient province. We’re ready to face these challenges head-on, with all Nova Scotians pulling together to build a prosperous future for everyone who calls our province home.”
