The Latest: Walker surprised by Trump tariff proposal
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Latest on Wisconsin reaction to President Donald Trump's tariff proposal (all times local):
1:50 p.m.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he was surprised when President Donald Trump announced plans to impose new tariffs on imported aluminum and steel, saying up until last week he thought "we were in a good place."
Walker on Tuesday urged Trump to back off on the tariffs, visiting a plastics manufacturer and food distributor the governor says would be hurt under Trump's plan.
Walker says he had been talking with Trump's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross since last summer about how tariffs would hurt Wisconsin.
