Senator Welch Hosts Roundtable at Orvis Rod Shop with Vermont Businesses
MANCHESTER, VT—U.S. Senator Peter Welch (D-Vt.) is set to host a roundtable on Wednesday at the Orvis Rod Shop and Factory in Manchester, aiming to address the impacts of President Trump’s tariffs and trade war on local businesses. This gathering will bring together Vermont business owners and manufacturers to share concerns and firsthand accounts of the trade challenges they face.
Senator Welch’s initiative follows a recent bipartisan trip to Ottawa, Canada, where he, along with Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Tim Kaine (D-Va.), met with Canadian leaders, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, and various business groups. During their discussions, the Senators emphasized the strong economic, security, and cultural ties between the U.S. and Canada while advocating for a robust trading relationship.
In a joint statement, they highlighted the importance of collaborative dialogue, covering critical issues such as tariffs, trade, defense spending, and military cooperation through NATO. They expressed a collective desire to enhance the U.S.-Canada partnership, promoting safety and prosperity amid global tensions.
Senator Welch’s upcoming roundtable is part of a series of discussions he has conducted throughout Vermont, where he aims to listen to the experiences of those affected by trade policies. This local engagement reflects a commitment to understanding and addressing the economic challenges faced by communities in Vermont and fostering constructive conversations about their futures.
