Kim Reynolds said, \u201cPresident Trump is using tariffs as leverage &#8211; to force our trading partners to the table and put America\u2019s farmers first. My job is to protect Iowans, and I\u2019m working directly with the administration to ease the short-term impact, keep our ag economy strong, and open the door to new export opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iowa\u2019s congressional delegates are also weighing in. In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wvik.org\/wvik-top-stories\/2024-12-13\/iowa-congresswoman-mariannette-miller-meeks-talks-legislative-priorities-tariffs-and-committees-with-wvik\">interview <\/a>in December, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who represents Warren County residents in the U.S. House said, \u201cSo you have to look at the tariffs. I have to look at those on a case-by-case basis and to see what it is exactly that the administration is going to do. As we have right now, we don&#8217;t have any specifics on that. But in general, we want to have policies that are pro-growth economic policies that help both manufacturing in the United States, as well as on-shoring manufacturing in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/istockphoto-543212762-612x612-1.jpg?resize=612%2C344&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/istockphoto-543212762-612x612-1.jpg?w=612&amp;ssl=1 612w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/istockphoto-543212762-612x612-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tractor cultivating field at spring,aerial view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/warrens-voice.com\/?page_id=360\">How much is a local, conservative voice worth to you?

Chuck Grassley has been more critical of the tariffs. He has introduced a bill in the United States Senate that would require congressional approval and oversight of any new tariffs. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grassley.senate.gov\/news\/news-releases\/grassley-cantwell-introduce-bill-to-restore-congress-constitutional-role-in-trade\">said<\/a>, \u201cFor too long, Congress has delegated its clear authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce to the executive branch. Building on my previous efforts as Finance Committee Chairman, I\u2019m joining Senator Cantwell to introduce the bipartisan Trade Review Act of 2025 to reassert Congress\u2019 constitutional role and ensure Congress has a voice in trade policy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Warren County residents are willing to wait and see what effect Trump\u2019s economic plan will have on their well-being.
