Chuck Schumer: “President Trump promised to lower costs, but instead, working- and middle-class families across Upstate New York are…”

Today, because of my CHIPS and Science Law, Upstate New York is beaming and boasting that the ‘Best is Yet to Come.’ Optimism, confidence, a growing population, home appreciation, and jobs-jobs-jobs. Having a chance to achieve this dream…

It’s a pathetic attempt at distraction, and it’s working families who are paying the price.

By the end of the decade, it is estimated that one in four U.S.-made chips will be produced within 350 miles of Upstate New York’s Semiconductor Superhighway—more than any other region in the country.

Instead of focusing our energy on outcompeting rivals like China, the Trump administration has unwisely chosen to pick a damaging and cost-spiking tariff fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner, Canada.
