Greg Abbott doesn't mention Trump's tariffs in speech, mocks Canada in tweet
Despite the harsh economic blow Texas consumers and businesses likely face from steep tariffs President Trump unveiled Saturday, Gov. Greg Abbott made no mention of them in his State of the State speech the following day. Indeed, the only comment Texas' Republican governor made of the tariffs via his social media accounts was to fire off a tweet mocking Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for retaliating against them. "Careful Trudeau," said Abbott, a Trump ally who's frequently parroted the president's anti-immigrant, anti-transgender and anti-DEI rhetoric.
