Representative Haley Stevens, serving Michigan’s 11th district since 2019, has recently shared her concerns through a series of tweets regarding the impact of tariffs on Canada, particularly on Michigan manufacturers. As a representative with a focus on the auto industry and manufacturing, Stevens calls for strategic changes in trade policy to mitigate the adverse effects being experienced.

On March 31, 2025, Stevens commented on the negative consequences of the tariffs in her tweet stating, "Tariffs on Canada are already hurting Michigan manufacturers. Our auto suppliers are saying their work is on hold. The stock market has plummeted, autoworkers are tense. Making cars in America means we need a comprehensive approach with targeted tariffs and strategic investment."

The sentiment was reiterated on April 1, 2025, when Stevens directed a message toward the President, urging a reconsideration of current strategies. Her tweet read, "Come on Mr. President, this isn’t funny. Let’s change course and use smart tariffs and investments to build a real 21st century manufacturing economy." She advocates for a reevaluation of the tariffs to support a contemporary manufacturing sector.

In another post on the same day, Stevens highlighted the severe implications for the auto industry and American workers on April Fool’s Day, remarking, "It may be April Fools, but tariffs on Canada are no joke. Our auto industry is stalled, companies aren’t bringing on more workers, and Americans’ retirement funds are hurting." This tweet points out the broader economic concerns tied to the current trade measures.
