WASHINGTON - Speaking with journalists at a $500 a ticket press conference, President Donald Trump announced that the Cascadia bio-region would be hit with a 30% tariff.

“The numbers are very bad, very bad,” stated President Trump. “You will see them later. They rob us. It’s disgusting. There’s still room for a deal. They will make a deal or we will raise tariffs again.”

Sources say that President Trump was told that this is actually already a part of the United States and this just furthered his resolve.

“All they do is take, they take and they take. It’s time for Cascadia to pay their fair share,” stated President Trump into the face of a bored bathroom attendant. “If they want American trucks and American goods, they will pay.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the administration announces that Cascadia may need a regime change.
