Statement From Governor Kathy Hochul

"President Trump's decision to walk away from trade talks with Canada is an impulsive and costly mistake that New Yorkers will pay for through higher prices and lost opportunities.

"Canada is our top trading partner. Thousands of New York businesses, farmers, and border communities depend on that relationship. Tourism from Canada powers our economy from Niagara Falls to Montauk Point.

"This administration's decision to end talks simply because of an ad is petty, shortsighted, and harmful. New Yorkers deserve better than personal grudges that drive up costs and risk our livelihoods."
