Nevada’s five congressional Democrats are urging the Trump administration to end its global trade war, writing to President Donald Trump that his tariffs are severely undermining tourism to Las Vegas.

“We write to express our deep concern that your reckless and uncoordinated tariffs imposed on American allies and partners will have a destructive effect on the economy in our home state of Nevada,” Democratic U.S. Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, along with Democratic U.S. Reps. Steven Horsford, Susie Lee and Dina Titus wrote to Trump in a letter delivered this morning.

The Democrats emphasized that they don’t oppose tariffs in their entirety, just that they should be targeted at “our adversaries,” specifically China.
