GOP before: "Trump will lower prices!"
GOP now: "Higher prices are good, actually."

NYS Senate GOP Leader Rob Ortt and US Rep. Mike Lawler (R) acknowledge the importance of Canadian trade to NY, but say tariffs are a negotiating tactic.
“Whatever pain there may be early on will be worth it in the end,” Ortt said. He has concerns on illegal drugs and crossings.
