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.

“CNN’s response to a simple mispronunciation of ‘Kamala’ shows they care more about pronouns and pronunciation than policy. While Americans are dealing with soaring inflation, rising crime, and a border crisis, people still have no idea where Kamala Harris stands on a single policy,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace.
"Yesterday there was another missile strike on the U.S-Coalition Base in northern Syria. Last week, four U.S. service members were injured in a rocket attack. The Houthis have claimed credit both times. What did Biden say? "We'll see what Iran does. We'll see what happens." We cannot afford to wait and see what happens. President Biden’s weakness and failure to address the growing aggression from Iranian terrorist proxies emboldens them."
"Yemen’s Houthi rebels have crossed a dangerous line by attacking multiple U.S. destroyers. This is not the first time Yemen has done this, and it certainly will not be the last. Their reckless aggression, backed by Iran, is a direct threat to American forces and our allies. The United States must rally against terrorism and take decisive action to obliterate the Houthis and their enablers."
Hamas claims they want peace but once again proves their utter disregard for peace by appointing Yahya Sinwar as their new top political “leader.” This is the same man who orchestrated the horrific attacks on American citizens and the Jews in Israel on October 7th. He embodies the worst atrocities known to mankind. Under his reign, remains a vile and illegitimate force that feeds on destruction, chaos, torture, rape and death. He is Israel's most wanted terrorist.
The families who lost loved ones on September 11th, have a right to full transparency regarding any plea deals with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators. The American public at large have waited over two decades for justice. They deserve to know the truth. Any sign of leniency towards those responsible for the 9/11 attacks not only disrespects the memory of the fallen but also emboldens terrorist organizations worldwide.
The recent killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was a critical move in taking down a man who has orchestrated countless acts of violence and terror against innocent people. He was a key architect of unspeakable violence. Anyone who sides with terror or jihad should receive a swift and decisive response.
Washington, D.C. July 25th, 2024 — Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace stands boldly against the recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan by introducing the "Preventing the Recognition of Terrorist States Act of 2024." This legislation sends a clear message to the Middle East: the United States will not legitimize a regime controlled by terrorists.
“As Prime Minister Netanyahu comes to address Congress, we stand firmly with Israel following Hamas' barbaric attacks. Netanyahu's visit reaffirms the United States alliance against terrorism around the globe. Charleston is home to one of the oldest synagogues, and our office is committed to protecting the religious freedoms of our Jewish community. While the current administration has shown indecision and hesitancy, we fully support Israel's right to defend itself and we look forward to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address to U.S.
"The Iranian government is funding pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protests on American campuses, a direct result of Biden's weakness and inability to stand up to foreign threats. Despite Iran's blatant aggression and election meddling happening right under our noses, the extremist left is doing nothing, letting our critical sanction bills collect dust. What we're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. Biden is shamelessly kowtowing to Tehran, leaving our democracy hanging by a thread. This isn't Left vs. Right anymore—it's America vs.
