Former Gov. Paul LePage said rolling back tariffs on Canadian goods will be a priority for him once he's sworn in as congressman for Maine's 2nd Congressional District. LePage, who is expected to win the seat following completion of a ranked-choice runoff, told Fox News that removing tariffs will help Maine consumers and help restore relations between Canada and the U.S. He cited tariffs on wood products as a primary concern. That's a clear break from Democratic Congressman Jared Golden, who largely supported the tariffs, and abandoned his reelection bid last year.
