Rep. Vern Buchanan, currently serving as a member of the U.S. Congress for Florida's 16th District, has been active on social media sharing his views on key economic and trade policies. On April 10, 2025, he posted a series of tweets reflecting his stance on manufacturing, tax policy, and international trade.

On April 10, Buchanan tweeted about a meeting with Secretary Scott Bessent and Jay Timmons from the National Association of Manufacturers. He expressed, "Great to sit down with @SecScottBessent and @JayTimmonsNAM to discuss the return of American manufacturing dominance. Making President Trump’s tax cuts permanent will bring blue-collar jobs back to America."

Later on the same day, Buchanan highlighted the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, noting, "The lowest 10% of earners saw 50% HIGHER wage growth under the TCJA than those in the top 10%." He advocated for the extension of President Trump's tax cuts, emphasizing, "It’s time to extend the Trump tax cuts to make America wealthy again!"

In a subsequent tweet, Buchanan discussed international trade, stating, "I’m all for international trade, but American businesses deserve FAIR trade. Other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. for far too long. @POTUS is securing America’s future."

Buchanan, a representative since 2007 and an alumnus of Cleary University and the University of Detroit Mercy, has been vocal about economic reforms. These discussions reflect his ongoing commitment to supporting policies he believes will benefit American workers and businesses.
