119th Congress

“Rep. George Latimer, D-Rye, said the proposed annexation of Canada has antagonized our close ally while the tariff threats have set the stage for a damaging trade war that could raise prices on a slew of products.”

“’Every day is another ridiculous proposal from this administration,’ said Latimer. ‘Canada is a sovereign nation and one of our closest allies. Instead of antagonizing an ally and almost starting a trade war, maybe President Trump should focus on lowering costs for New York families.’”

“On Feb. 7, Congressman George Latimer (NY-16) took to the House floor to denounce President Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on our allies Canada and Mexico. While the tariffs have been delayed by 30 days, the threat of a trade war with our allies and trading partners remains.”

"‘When he makes a decision to cut NIH funding, he may be cutting funding to Burke Rehab in White Plains, which could mean services will be provided at a higher cost... When they have an EO to cut the size and scope of a government agency like Social Security and close it off in White Plains, now it makes it inconvenient for senior citizens.’"

“Rep. Latimer told the Business Journal, ‘I think it’s pretty clear that these individuals put themselves on the line, their lives, their families, everything they had to support the Americans when we were in Afghanistan and they had hoped that we would bring freedom and opportunity to the Afghan people. They became pariahs to the Taliban. Now that we’re gone they’re in dire straits and violence and death may follow if we don’t do what’s right.’”

“‘I have heard from hundreds of my constituents that they are concerned about Elon Musk’s takeover of the federal payment system and what it means for their sensitive information and privacy. I am proud to support the Taxpayer Data Protection Act so that Congress can hold the Trump Administration accountable and prevent Musk and his minions from rifling through the private data of everyday Americans. We must act now,’ said Rep. Latimer.”
