Trade war concerns prompt letter to President Trump ...

Over 160 area residents signed a letter written to U.S. President Donald Trump that expressed concerns about the impact of tariffs and trade wars. People had the opportunity to sign the letter at the Allamakee County Fair in July. The letter was initiated by the Allamakee County Democrats, who plan to mail the letter to Senator Charles Grassley asking him to deliver it to the White House. Pictured above with the letter are (left to right) Lorna Kerndt of Waukon, George Blair of New Albin, Kristi Davis of Waukon and Kathy Hannum of Waukon. Submitted photo.
