U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance defended President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods during a Monday visit to Brewer, Maine, urging voters to support Republican candidates. Vance criticized Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying Canada must stop exploiting Maine residents and Americans. The administration aims to ensure Maine gets a fair deal, acknowledging the state's cross-border transactions with Canada. Maine's economy is closely tied to Canadian trade, with tariffs harming its cement, lumber, and paper sectors. Vance campaigned for Republican congressional candidate Paul LePage, while Democrats called the tariffs a tax on Maine families.
