SPARTA, MI — President Donald Trump’s threat to impose 25% tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico has created big economic uncertainty, including in Michigan where many farmers are wondering what a trade war could mean to their bottom line.
That uncertainty was on display Thursday, when U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, hosted a discussion at May Farms in Sparta northeast of Grand Rapids. Slotkin touched on a variety of topics, including tariffs, the push for a new farm bill, and budget cuts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
