NH congressional delegation says businesses need certainty amid tariff fight

The New Hampshire congressional delegation, including Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, and Representatives Annie Kuster and Chris Pappas, have expressed concerns over the proposed tariffs on Chinese goods, highlighting the potential negative impact on small businesses and the state's economy.
