Trump's decision screws over Arizona.
By ripping up this trade agreement, he'll cost our state's economy more than $3.4 billion. He'll put 22,000+ Arizonans out of work. And he'll raise tomato prices by more than half, at a time when we should be working to lower costs.

This is a moral moment. Honored to stand along my friend @captmarkkelly.bsky.social tonight at a town hall in Arizona. We must all keep speaking out against the actions of the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans.
