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.

"Justin Trudeau’s resignation as party leader is long overdue. His time as prime minister has been a textbook example of how extreme progressivism only leads to failure. Under his leadership, Canada’s economy has crumbled, crime has skyrocketed, and basic freedoms have been trampled. Instead of focusing on what really matters to Canadians, he chose to push woke politics which only made the country weaker, poorer, and more divided. This isn’t just a failed agenda—it’s a warning. Extreme progressivism like Trudeau’s is not sustainable.

"Hamas is calling for an immediate end to the war after hearing the results of our election, but let’s be clear: Israel's right to defend itself is non-negotiable, and America must continue standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our ally. Congress has a responsibility to work together to protect Israel, and ensure peace can truly take root in the region.”
"Iran’s supreme leader’s promise of a ‘crushing response’ only highlights the regime’s continued pursuit of aggression in the region, its destabilizing agenda, and its unrelenting support for terrorism. We will continue to support all efforts to protect American interests and Israel’s right to defend itself.”
“First, they banned Afghan women from schools, then from work, and now they can’t even hear each other’s voices? The Taliban’s obsession with silencing women has hit a ridiculous and frankly horrific new low. Women around the world are counting on America to show strength on the world stage.”
Representative Nancy Mace released the following statement after signing a bipartisan letter urging UN Secretary-General António Guterres to reject any attempts by the Palestinian Authority to downgrade Israel's status at the United Nations.
“We stand with Israel as it defends itself against the unrelenting aggression and terror emanating from Iran. Israel has every right to protect its citizens from a regime openly sponsoring bloodshed and backing Hamas, Hezbollah, and other violent proxies. For too long, Iran’s brutal leadership has poured money and resources into terror. This ends now.”
“China's recent tariff deal with the Taliban is alarming. This alliance will boost a regime notorious for oppressing its own people, especially women and girls. We cannot let dictators and terrorists set the tone for global affairs while American values are left in the dust. We need strong leadership from Congress and the White House now more than ever.”
“The IDF’s recent operations confirm UNRWA is employing Hamas terrorists—individuals directly responsible for the massacre of innocents, including Americans, on October 7th. Our office introduced an amendment to stop U.S. taxpayer dollars going to UNRWA and cosponsored H.R. 1102, the UNRWA Accountability and Transparency Act because this cannot continue.”
