The House Resolution, introduced by a group of Michigan representatives, emphasizes the importance of maintaining strong and fair commercial relationships with North American trading partners, particularly Canada and Mexico, to support Michigan's economy. It highlights that these nations are vital for various sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, and agriculture, which collectively contribute to job creation and economic growth in the state. The resolution points out that Michigan's agricultural sector significantly relies on exports to Canada and Mexico, while the manufacturing sector benefits from robust supply chains that involve the movement of goods across borders.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses concern over the potential negative impacts of tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico, which could disrupt exports, increase costs for businesses, and create uncertainty for workers. It calls on the federal government to consider these economic implications when pursuing foreign policy interests and reaffirms Michigan's commitment to advocating for strong trade relationships. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to key federal officials and members of Michigan's congressional delegation to ensure awareness and support for these trade priorities.
