Governor Dunleavy's claim that it is "like Christmas every day" due to Trump's policies is a falsehood that disregards the severe economic harm Trump's tariff war will inflict on Alaska. The state's fishing industry relies heavily on global markets, especially in Asia, which Trump's tariffs directly threaten. Additionally, Trump's stance jeopardizes the potential for an Alaska gas pipeline by creating an unstable environment that deters international investment. Rather than blindly supporting Trump's reckless trade policies, Dunleavy should prioritize Alaska's interests by opposing tariffs that will damage our vital export industries and economic prospects. Alaskans deserve honesty about the negative impacts, not disingenuous claims that this is somehow beneficial for our state.
