Patrick Woodcock, president and CEO of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, said he supports President Trump's goal of reinvigorating U.S. manufacturing but he worries about the "blunt" way the president is applying tariffs globally.

Trump has said repeatedly he wants Canada to become the 51st state. It's a statement sometimes laughed off in the U.S., but viewed as deadly serious in Canada.

It also remains unclear whether some imports from Canada that are important to Maine — such as heating oil and gasoline — will still be subject to tariffs.

While Maine's 2nd District congressman is out of step with many of his Democratic colleagues on tariffs, he points out that President Biden kept in place or even expanded import taxes that he inherited from the first Trump administration.
