Positioning Minnesota for trade success amid tariff talks
10 Apr 2025
News
It’s been an interesting week, with some whiplash around tariffs and ongoing trade challenges with our global partners. The pause this week by President Trump comes as a bit of a relief, but the broader conversation around trade and tariffs will certainly continue.
At the Minnesota Chamber and across the state, we view trade through the lens of creating fair and effective trade agreements. Past trade deals have helped Minnesota expand its global partnerships and grow our economy. Today, our exports alone account for about $30 billion in value. That’s approximately 6% of the state’s GDP and supports roughly 750,000 jobs.
