STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty-Six
A RESOLUTION urging the United States Congress to rescind President Donald Trump's tariffs.
Whereas, on April 2, 2025, President Trump declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which enabled him to impose a 10 percent base tariff on all foreign goods imported from foreign countries into the United States and even higher tariffs on specified trading partners; and
Whereas, low-income American households have been hit hardest by the price increases caused by President Trump's tariffs, with essential goods like food, clothing, electronics, and used vehicles rising in cost already; and
Whereas, economists broadly agree that tariffs function as taxes on imports, which are passed on to consumers and businesses in the form of higher prices; and
Whereas, increases in the cost of imported goods by President Trump's tariff policies will lead to higher costs of living for New Hampshire residents and higher operating costs for New Hampshire businesses; and
Whereas, Canada is New Hampshire's number one export market, totaling $1.4 billion in annual goods; and
Whereas, New Hampshire imports $2 billion in goods from Canada annually, including $444 million in fuel oil, $111 million in fish and crustaceans, and $78 million in wood products; and
Whereas, Canadian government officials have said that a tariff on these imports from Canada will directly result in higher costs for New Hampshire residents for goods such as gas, seafood, groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables like blueberries and potatoes, durable goods, and housing production; and
Whereas, 182,000 New Hampshire jobs rely on international trade, and economic burdens caused by President Trump's tariff policies threaten to reduce employment opportunities and diminish the Granite State's overall economic output; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the New Hampshire house of representatives urges the United States Congress to enact a joint resolution to rescind President Trump's tariffs by terminating the national state of emergency declared by President Trump on April 2, 2025, and to oppose all future declarations of states of emergency through the IEEPA that would permit future tariff increases by President Trump; and
That copies of this resolution be forwarded by the house clerk to the President of the United States; President of the United States Senate; the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; each member of the New Hampshire congressional delegation; and the New Hampshire state librarian.
