Most of Georgia’s congressional delegation does not support the Trump Administration’s steel and aluminum tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and the European Union, according to the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.

The group has been unsuccessful in lobbying the White House against the tariffs and worries about the fall out.

“Now we’re going into retaliatory practices with Canada and Mexico and the European union which are three of our biggest export markets,” said Chamber spokesman Jason O’Rouke.
