Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak of North Dakota issued a statement concerning President Trump's Executive Order imposing reciprocal tariffs. In her statement, Fedorchak expressed support for the President's initiative to tackle longstanding unfair trade barriers. She stated, "The U.S. is taking action to address decades of unfair trade barriers that have put American manufacturers, producers, and businesses at a huge disadvantage. I support President Trump's efforts to create a level playing field and his long-term strategy to strengthen our critical domestic supply chains."

Fedorchak also acknowledged the potential difficulties these tariffs might pose, particularly for North Dakota's agricultural community. She stated her commitment to advocating for expanded market opportunities for local products and implementing other policies to mitigate potential negative impacts. "At the same time, I recognize the challenges these tariffs create for North Dakota’s farmers and producers, and I will continue to advocate for expanding market opportunities for our products as well as other policies to help counter the negative impacts tariffs may create for producers," she explained.

A fact sheet on the tariffs has been made available.
