Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On October 29th, 2026, with Trump’s tariffs driving nearly two straight years of declining tourism and skyrocketing costs, U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer stood at the Port of Oswego Authority with a bipartisan coalition of Central and Northern New York business owners, public officials, and concerned community members being crushed by Trump’s tariff war to launch his new legislation – the End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act – to revoke and refund Trump’s most recent tariffs, including 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. Schumer said that as Trump makes threats to annex Canada and rename Upstate New York’s beloved Lake Ontario, costs for families and local businesses are skyrocketing. The Senator said his bill is key to reversing the damage done by Trump’s tariffs, stopping this nonsensical trade war, and lowering costs for Upstate New York’s families and small businesses.Â
