Chairman Smith Praises Trump: "The sky has not fallen on the US economy”

22 Apr 2026
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith delivered a robust defense of the current administration’s economic policies during a high-profile hearing with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. Smith asserted that despite dire warnings from skeptics, the "sky has not fallen" on the American economy, pointing to a surge in new trade agreements that have opened markets for farmers and manufacturers while securing over $1 trillion in domestic investment. The Chairman highlighted the success of the "America First" trade strategy, noting that significant tariff reductions in the EU, Cambodia, and Taiwan are already boosting American exports. As the nation nears the one-year anniversary of "Liberation Day," Smith argues that the combination of the Working Families Tax Cuts and aggressive reciprocal trade policies has created a roaring economy that continues to defy expectations and deliver for working-class families. #JasonSmith #TrumpEconomy #WaysAndMeans #TradePolicy #BreakingNews #AmericaFirst #EconomicGrowth #TaxCuts #USTrade #MarketWatch
