On April 16, 2025, with Trump’s tariff war hitting Main Street businesses across Upstate NY, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer stood with Southern Tier business leaders like Ward Apparatus, a company that builds emergency rescue and response vehicles for fire departments and is feeling the pain with major hits to their bottom line due to tariffs on Canada and other countries. Senator Schumer said this destructive and un-strategic tariff war that Trump has started has Upstate NY businesses, seniors and working- and middle-class families footing the bill with increased costs.
