More about national politics at midnight.

President Donald Trump levied a 25% tariff on goods arriving from Canada and Mexico and he increased the tariffs with China from 10 to 20%.

There's already criticism of the move in Kentucky from leaders in both political parties.

U.S.

Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky said that tariffs are taxes and if you taxed re you'll get less trade and less prosperity.

Governor Andy Beshear is also denouncing the tariffs.

He says when prices go up, there will be one man to blame.

>> And the amount things will cost more as the Trump tax on you and your family.

This tariffs on Canada and Mexico are going to raise the cost of vegetables, fruits and meet your grocery store.

The the extra amount you pay.

That's the Trump tax.

>> The tariffs on Canada are going to increase the price of gas.

The extra amount you pay is the Trump tax and then the tariffs on lumber are going to make buying that next home.

Getting that first home for a young couple or renovating a home that much more expensive that will be the Trump tax.

Just white, everything from automobiles to other major purchases you need to make are going to be that much more expensive.

>> There are also concerns Canada will stop selling all us made whiskey including Kentucky bourbon.

Despite that, Congressman Andy Barr of Kentucky, 6 district is backing the Trump tariff policy.

He's office sent this statement to KET, quote, Kentucky's signature bourbon industry is a critical driver of our economy.

And I know President Trump understands how important it is to protect it and every other American made product facing unfair treatment abroad.

I'm confident that with President Trump's continued leadership will see more wins for Kentucky's bourbon industry and for American businesses across the board, unquote.

Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers Association is more pessimistic, though.

He said in a statement, quote, Unfortunately, the return of retaliatory tariffs on American whiskey will have far-reaching consequences across Kentucky home to 95% of the world's bourbon.

That means hardworking Americans.

Corn farmers, truckers, distillery workers, barrel makers, bartenders servers and the communities and businesses built around Kentucky bourbon will suffer
