Rep. Suzan DelBene, representing Washington’s 1st District in the U.S. Congress, shared her perspectives on several issues through a series of tweets. Her remarks covered topics such as international trade, federal funding, and a tribute to a colleague.
On March 12, 2025, Rep. DelBene commented on the impact of former President Trump's trade policies. She noted the retaliatory actions other countries might take against American companies and farmers, stating: "The unfortunate but expected outcome of Trump's trade war. Other countries will target American companies & farmers with tariffs of their own. It’s easy to lose customers but hard to win them back."
