In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“However, significant tariffs – including those on forest products – remain in effect and will lead to higher costs for Maine families and uncertainty for businesses. I urge the Administration to continue to work to deescalate this conflict and reach a trade resolution with our Canadian partners.”
Senator Collins Announces Road Salt, Cement Exempt from U.S. TariffsSep 8, 2026 · Official · collins.senate.gov [Official] · source
“I appreciate the Administration’s announcement that it will exempt road salt and cement from U.S. tariffs. In my communication with Ambassador Greer and Secretary Lutnick, I focused on road salt and cement as two products crucial to Maine that would be severely affected by these tariffs.”
Senator Collins Announces Road Salt, Cement Exempt from U.S. TariffsSep 8, 2026 · Official · collins.senate.gov [Official] · source
“The new 50 percent tariffs imposed by the Administration on certain Canadian imports and the retaliatory tariffs announced by the Canadian government will lead to higher costs, risk, and uncertainty for Maine families, small and large businesses, and our communities. For Mainers, commerce with Canada is a regular occurrence. Maine borders only one state, but shares a 611-mile border with Canada. The consequences of Canada’s retaliatory tariffs are severe for Maine businesses, including our heritage industries.”
Senator Collins Warns $170 Million of Maine Goods Would Be Hit by TariffsAug 28, 2026 · Official · collins.senate.gov [Official] · source
“Maine’s economy is uniquely intertwined with Canada, and the consequences of an escalating trade dispute will be felt by American families, businesses, workers, and communities across the state. Thousands of American jobs and businesses across a variety of sectors are at risk. I urge the Administration to work urgently toward a negotiated resolution with Canada that removes the recently implemented American tariffs and prevents the Canadian tariffs from taking effect.”

“One of my highest priorities has always been to improve Maine’s infrastructure and to ensure that our state’s needs are met. These projects have the immediate benefit of keeping our skilled construction workers on the job. When complete, they help enhance safety, grow the economy, and create opportunity.”
