Trade & Foreign Policy

International trade and good relations with foreign nations are absolutely vital to American prosperity and particularly to the prosperity of the Lowcountry.
Our region survives on the ability to bring millions of visitors from around the world here to spend time on our beaches, in our restaurants, and in our small businesses. South Carolina relies on unrestricted trade to send planes, cars, food, and countless other products made right here around the world. In fact, in 2018, South Carolina was the 14th largest state exporter of goods.
Doing anything to disrupt this flow of goods risks destroying an estimated 157,000 jobs and raising prices on things Lowcountry families buy each and every day. So, when Washington considers taxing products which come from abroad, or another country considers doing the same, it’s something which concerns all of us.
Keeping trade free, fair, and open with as many countries as possible is my top priority. Anything which might jeopardize this is something which shouldn’t be taken lightly, and must be discussed by Congress, not simply carried out by unelected bureaucrats.

The world is strong when America is strong.
We have the strongest President in American history.
Peace through strength means showing up, not running away from your enemies. America First.
(Washington, D.C., February 27th, 2024) –(Washington, D.C., February 27, 2024) – Congresswoman Nancy Mace has reintroduced the No Funds for Fascists Act to ensure not a single American taxpayer dollar is sent to foreign governments that crush free speech and pressure media platforms to silence dissent.
"Three years ago, Biden’s weakness emboldened Russia to invade Ukraine. Instead of a plan, he threw billions in taxpayer dollars at the problem with no accountability. Now, under President Trump, we finally have a path to peace. Unlike career politicians, Trump puts America first—he’s bringing both sides to the table and proving that real leadership means results, not reckless spending. Peace through strength isn’t just a slogan—it’s what happens when America has a leader who knows how to negotiate and isn’t afraid to act."
"Marc Fogel’s long-overdue return home is a testament to President Trump’s leadership and commitment to bringing Americans back from unjust captivity abroad. While the Biden administration failed to secure his release for years, President Trump and his team took action and got results—without compromising America’s security or giving away dangerous concessions. This is what real leadership looks like. Welcome home, Marc!"
"The ICC, by targeting our ally Israel and issuing baseless arrest warrants against its leaders, has clearly demonstrated a bias and an affinity for those who support terrorism. We will not tolerate the ICC's love affair with terrorists or its attempt to criminalize legitimate self-defense. This executive order is about standing up for our allies and making sure the ICC doesn't turn into some kind of political weapon. We support Israel and will not back down.”
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., reacts to President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China on 'Fox Report. Watch it here.
“We fully support President Trump’s decision to reinstate the "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran. History proves this works. When the Trump administration first implemented maximum pressure, Iran’s economy took a major hit, limiting its ability to fund terrorism and build its nuclear program. Weak enforcement let Iran slip through the cracks—oil exports surged, and uranium enrichment skyrocketed to near weapons-grade levels.”
"U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) must be dismantled due to its sheer lack of accountability. We've seen time and time again, through various reports and hearings, USAID has failed the American people and misused American taxpayer dollars,” said Rep. Nancy Mace. “Eliminating USAID in its current form would be a step towards ensuring our foreign aid is truly beneficial and not funding woke programs to push political agendas. We need a system where every dollar spent is accounted for. Until then, it should rightfully be axed."
"Every day these hostages remain in their hands is another day they are subjected to unspeakable horrors. Hamas is a savage group using civilians as bargaining chips, showing the world their complete disregard for human life. This is not just a war against Israel—it is a war against humanity itself. This administration’s delay in taking action only enabled Hamas to extend this suffering. We cannot, and will not, let this stand. Every single person held by Hamas must be brought home, and those responsible for these heinous acts must be held accountable.
