Gov. Cox will lead a Utah trade mission to Canada next week w/ state officials & local business leaders. “What we will get an opportunity to do is just show people who Utah is," Cox said. "And what we do best is we build relationships with people.” https://t.co/wLAPIe0KGH

RT @Deseret: President Donald Trump announced 10% tariffs on all imports and tariffs of up to 50% for certain trade partners. Here’s how it…

What one Utah manufacturer told me about Trump's blanket 10% tariff & the much higher reciprocal tariffs aimed at bringing factories back to the US: "It could have the opposite effect. ... Increased costs could actually drive U.S. manufacturing overseas."https://t.co/1HEXE6HSu6

Trump's "discounted" reciprocal tariffs will charge other countries roughly half the cumulative trade barriers they place against the US, Trump says. China: 67% tariff levied against US = 34% in reciprocal tariffs EU: 20% tariff Japan: 24% India: 26% Switzerland: 31% UK: 10% https://t.co/oe6c8X9GBt

Dueling statistics from both sides of the tariff debate. On one hand, the US/China share of global manufacturing has gone from 23%US/3%China to 16%/32%. On the other hand, US wages are the highest they have ever been & February broke the US record for industrial production.

Trump's promise to remake American manufacturing & the global economic order has arrived. Is that a good thing? Depending on who you ask, it could spell the end or the beginning of the next American century. @scottlincicome @Menloferry @MarkADiPlacido https://t.co/ECSYIdejgp

Author @DKThomp told @Deseret the abundance agenda—on the left or right—"is inherently a positive-sum vision." A 2023 study cited by Gov. @SpencerJCox found that Utahns are the group least likely to display “zero-sum thinking" toward pro-growth policies. https://t.co/dk7NlieaqI

The chiefs of staff for Utah's governor, Senate & House all made over $300,000 in 2024, w/ each position receiving a 40% raise over the previous two or three years, making their salaries higher than those of their counterparts in CA, TX, FL, & NY. Why? https://t.co/mBu5XzGqnz

Reps. Mike Kennedy & Celeste Maloy said they wanted to show the rest of the country that Utahns can have tough conversations. Instead they got an angry crowd of 300 mocking the opening prayer & shouting down both representatives for an hour. https://t.co/oUPIZlDqXa

HB392, which would allow law enforcement to impound the car of an unlicensed driver, failed on the Senate floor. It was going to pass but Sen. pres. Stuart Adams took the final vote against the bill and several lawmakers switched their vote.

We asked Utahns what impact illegal immigration had on public safety: 48% - made their area less safe 31% - it had no impact 9% - it made their area more safe On Tue., the Senate revived a bill to penalize unlicensed drivers 4 days after rejecting it. https://t.co/C40zxQVsD4

New DNews poll: 89% of Utahns — 95% Republicans & 72% Democrats — support deportation of unauthorized immigrants who have committed crimes. The Legislature passed HB226 on Thursday which would make this easier for legal & illegal immigrants. https://t.co/DmDZ3ecnW8

Utah Senate passed Rep. Trevor Lee's bill prohibiting public school classrooms & government buildings from flying flags, including the pride flag, unless it is the US flag, state flag, tribal flag, military flag, or official school or sports flag. It heads for Cox's signature.
