Mike Rogers Urges End to $80 Billion Canada Trade War as Michigan Prices Stay High

Summary
Mike Rogers released a new ad calling for the trade war with Canada to end, arguing the dispute is hurting Michigan and keeping prices too high.
Canada is Michigan’s biggest trade partner, with roughly $80 billion in annual commerce, making the issue especially sensitive for the state’s economy and manufacturers.
The message marks a shift from Rogers’ stance last month, when he said some tariffs on Canadian goods were necessary even if they were not a one-size-fits-all solution.
The ad follows another recent spot in which Rogers broke with President Donald Trump by urging a quick end to the war with Iran, though neither commercial mentioned Trump by name.
