In a post to Truth Social, Trump said &ldquo;it was a very friendly conversation.&rdquo; Proponents of the tariffs on the country say it&rsquo;s a necessary step to stop the flow of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ann-coulter-give-the-dog-narcan\/\" title=\"Ann Coulter: Give the Dog Narcan\">illicit fentanyl<\/a> in the United States by forcing cooperation, whereas opponents argue it is a needless economic conflict.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen told The Center Square that he trusts Trump&rsquo;s judgment on the tariffs on Mexico and the subsequent negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Tariffs are being used as a tool by President Trump to achieve economic and political outcomes that are in the best interests of America, not only to help stop the flow of dangerous criminal illegal immigrants and deadly fentanyl into the U.S but to put Americans first,&rdquo; Petersen stated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Arizona is ground zero for this open border chaos that has cost our state $3 billion in taxpayer dollars annually. Any costs passed onto Americans will be miniscule in the grand scheme and will be offset by his energy and fiscal policies that will bring gas prices and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-manchin-calls-on-biden-admin-to-use-defense-production-act-to-rush-construction-of-stalled-pipeline-through-wv\/\" title=\"Sen.

I see the tariffs as a tool to enact positive changes,&rdquo; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian tariffs were also paused after Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talked on Monday, with Trudeau saying in an X post that &ldquo;Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.&rdquo; The northern neighbors are Arizona&rsquo;s second most prominent trading partner.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Gov. Katie Hobbs voiced concern about tariffs and the potential impacts on the costs of consumer goods, dubbing them a &ldquo;tax.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These new taxes threaten to hike grocery and gas prices. They threaten to increase the cost of housing. And they threaten critical Arizona industries that employ tens of thousands of people, including semiconductor manufacturing, agriculture, and the clean energy economy,&rdquo; Hobbs stated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re bad for families and they&rsquo;re bad for business. I hope the president will reconsider this hasty action that could have a devastating impact on our state&rsquo;s economy,&rdquo; she added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1974228\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1974228\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tariff debate intensifies in Arizona amid mixed reactions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2398618,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ap-claudia-sheinbaum-event-mexico-112824.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4472,9168,13991,42205],"class_list":["post-2398617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-arizona","tag-economy","tag-tariffs","tag-trade-policy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ap-claudia-sheinbaum-event-mexico-112824.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2398617"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2398621,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398617\/revisions\/2398621"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2398618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2398617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2398617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2398617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
