Sen. Welch and Bipartisan Group Introduce CANADA Act to Shield Small Businesses from New Tariffs
The CANADA Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently introduced in the Senate and sent to the Committee on Finance for review. The bill is actively moving forward as it waits for the committee to discuss it.
The bill has support from both parties and the Senate leader, but it tries to roll back taxes created by the president, which is often difficult to do.

Many small farms and ranches import supplies, fertilizer, equipment parts, and other goods from Canada.

This is especially relevant for farms near the northern border that rely heavily on cross-border trade.
