Story summary

Maine's loggers and fishermen have expressed concerns about recent tariffs imposed on machinery imported from Canada, leading to higher diesel costs. ABC News’ Jay O’Brien spoke with Sen. Susan Collins (R) and Troy Jackson (D), both candidates for the Maine Senate seat, as well as local workers affected by these trade policies. The tariffs have significantly impacted the operations of loggers and fishermen who rely on machinery from Canada, increasing their operational expenses due to higher fuel prices. This issue has become a focal point in the upcoming election with both candidates addressing the economic challenges facing Maine's primary industries.
