Washington apple growers worry about tariff retaliation
SPOKANE — Washington apple growers are anxiously watching the reaction of export markets after the Trump administration imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum from Europe, Mexico and Canada.
Mexico is the biggest foreign market for Washington apples, and has said it would impose tariffs on U.S. apples in retaliation.
The Spokesman-Review says Washington exports between 12 million and 15 million bushels of apples a year to Mexico, worth about $215 million last year. That’s according to Todd Fryhover, president of the Washington Apple Commission.
Republican U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who represents part of eastern Washington, says she is “greatly disappointed” by the announcement to go ahead with tariffs, and strongly opposes Trump’s decision.

But she'll continue to kiss his hiney.

It must be bad if McMorris Rodgers is going to "strongly oppose Trump's decision".
She better watch out since Trump's vindictiveness and revenge to those that speak out against him has no limit.
