North Carolina Governor Josh Stein is taking a stand against federal trade policies he says are "squeezing" local families.
On Wednesday, Stein joined eighteen other governors in a letter to Congress, demanding that lawmakers strip President Trump of the power to unilaterally impose tariffs. The move follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling last month that found the President overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to hike taxes on imports.
Stein warns these tariffs are a "one-two punch" for people in North Carolina, estimating they could cost the average household up to $1,300 this year alone.
He’s calling on Congress to step in and restore accountability to the nation’s trade system.
