After Canada imposes retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% at 11:01 a.m., Hochul calls on New York's seven House Republicans to demand Trump end the trade war and refund $13.5B she says New Yorkers overpaid; says NY wine exports to Canada are down about 91%

In Albany remarks on Sept. 8, Hochul said Canada imposed tariffs of up to 50% on billions of dollars of American goods that morning in retaliation for the Trump administration's trade war. She called on New York's seven Republican House members to demand the President end the tariffs and repeated her call for the federal government to return $13.5 billion she says New Yorkers have overpaid through tariff-driven prices. She cited Canadian wood and aluminum as inputs that raise housing construction costs, and said New York wine exports to Canada, previously the state's largest wine export market, are down about 91%. She also noted a Supreme Court ruling that the President lacks authority to impose tariffs without congressional approval. Figures are the governor's; the 91% and $13.5B numbers were not independently sourced in the release.
