Maine industries from forestry to retail could be affected by global tariffs. So Patrick Woodcock, of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, said the 90-day pause on most tariffs is welcome news. He said Maine's forestry, retail, seafood, and construction sectors could feel the effects of tariffs. Woodcock said he has seen the decline in manufacturing in Maine, and supports efforts to bring that back, but he's concerned about collateral damage to trade relationships.
