Governor J.B. Pritzker

And so it's very disturbing to me because when you're threatening tariffs, you know, oh, he got mad because Canada didn't like being called the 51st state by him.

And so what did he do?

Increased tariffs by 50 percent on them.

Why?

To punish them.

These are some of our closest allies.

I don't know about you, but every Canadian that I know is a pretty decent person.

I travel to Canada a lot, like a lot of Canadians come here.

He's basically put a stop to all that.

And now our relationship with Canada is terrible.

So, I mean, that's just one example of what he's done.

Europe, of course, doesn't trust us anymore.

We could go through all the countries in the world and the United States has been diminished all across the world.

And the people of the United States are diminished as a result of it.

And I don't know if you know this, but Illinois, people often don't think of Illinois as a farm state, but 75% of the territory of Illinois are farms.

We're the number one producer of soybeans, the number two producer of corn in the United States.

He has...

truly damaged farmers across our state as a result of the trade wars.

So soybean farmers who normally ship a lot of their goods to Asia haven't been able to ship any of it because no orders are coming in from Asia.

We're in a trade war.
