SMART TRADE POLICY WILL OPEN NEW OPPORTUNITIES, GET COSTS UNDER CONTROL

Michiganders know we must reduce our reliance on foreign suppliers for critical goods that keep us safe and healthy. Effective trade and tariff policies will strengthen national security and protect our own supply chains from disruption.

However, we also know that smart trade helps reduce the pressures of everyday costs, supports the entirety of Michigan’s diverse economy, and protects critical relationships like the one we have with Canada.
 
New trade agreements and consistency with tariffs are essential to Michigan. Our farmers, manufacturers, automakers and small businesses need a predictable road map to protect the entirety of our economy, jobs, and families.

CREATE MICHIGAN
JOBS

  • Return to creating local jobs by pursuing trade deals that open foreign markets, making it easier for our manufacturers and farmers to sell abroad
  • Restore confidence among companies that have delayed or cancelled new manufacturing due to uncertainty 
  • Our workers, from new graduates to the highly skilled, are missing out on opportunities that would keep them here in our state 

Lower Costs for
Michigan Families

  • Lowering tariffs will directly lower the costs for our families and citizens
  • Confusion in trade policy has made it hard for companies to set consistent pricing 
  • Our local small businesses and main streets are hurting as consumers have less resources 

PROTECT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CANADA

  • Canada is the top export partner for the nation and Michigan 
  • Tariffs are harming our automotive and manufacturing industries, and we have a deeply integrated supply chain
  • The strain of tariffs is also hurting Michigan's tourism industry as our neighbors have slowed travel to our state
