Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) doubled down on his support for President Trump’s tariff war with Canada, saying any retaliation stemming from the tariffs “won’t go well” for the neighboring country.

“If Canada thinks they’re better off without our goods, I wish them good luck,” Golden told the Portland Press Herald on Tuesday. “I suspect in the long run, it won’t go well for them.”

The Trump administration introduced a 50 percent tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian imports over the weekend after failed trade negotiations between the two nations. Trump also threatened 50 percent tariffs on vehicles and auto parts effective Jan. 1.

“America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer!” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. “Someone should get these clowns to ‘fall in line’ or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!”

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Wednesday said Canada sought concessions that were “too much” for the U.S. to agree to.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded with “dollar for dollar” retaliatory tariffs effective Sept. 8, targeting some of the Pine Tree State’s largest exports to Canada, including pulp and paper products and U.S.-harvested lobster.

Golden, who is not seeking reelection in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District reportedly due to threats against his family, has previously backed Trump’s tariff actions.

He was the lone House Democrat to vote against a resolution to repeal Trump’s tariffs on Canada, where six House Republicans joined Democrats in a 219-211 vote.

Some strategists have warned that the tariff war and its economic impact on Americans could cause problems for Republicans ahead of the midterms as the party scrambles to solidify its affordability messaging amid dwindling trust from voters.

“It really undermines our messaging when we’re trying to address affordability and we’re already having to deal with the price of oil due to the war in Iran,” Republican strategist Jason Cabel Roe told The Hill. “But that affordability debate only gets more complicated when we’re in a trade war with our largest trading partner, who happens to share a border with us.”

Other Maine politicians have pushed back on the tariffs over concerns about their trade impact. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who is facing a competitive reelection race in November, called the latest tariffs “a mistake,” citing a “beneficial” trade relationship between the Republican’s home state and Canada.

State Auditor Matt Dunlap (D), who is looking to succeed Golden, used the tariffs as an opportunity to attack his opponent, former Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R), for having a “direct line” to the White House.

“Will Paul demand they end those tariff taxes that are hurting working families?” Dunlap said in a campaign video posted to social media. “Don’t hold your breath.”
