The consuls general of Canada and Mexico say that Georgia businesses that export goods to their countries should be worried about retaliatory tariffs. 

The World Affairs Council of Atlanta recently hosted Javier Díaz de León, consul general of Mexico in Atlanta, and Rosaline Kwan, consul general of Canada in Atlanta, to talk about how tariffs and the current trade war are impacting our North American neighbors.

Georgia shipped more than $7 billion worth of goods to Canada last year, according to recent federal trade data.
