Rep. Jason Smith's recent posts on social media reflect his views on trade imbalances affecting American industries and workers. Representing Missouri’s 8th district since 2013, Smith has frequently spoken on economic policies under the Trump administration. Below are some of his key points expressed via social media.

On April 1, 2025, Rep. Jason Smith shared a study indicating that out of 132 America's foreign trading partners, two-thirds of 600,000 American exported products face higher tariffs than the respective trading partners pay on exports to the U.S. "That is not fair trade." He noted the significance of Liberation Day, hinting at President Trump's participation in related events.

On April 2, 2025, Smith highlighted Liberation Day's role in reminding world leaders of President Trump's trade policies that prioritize America. He asserted that these policies are a response to years of perceived exploitation of the United States by other nations.

In a later post on the same day, he emphasized that "America shouldn’t reward countries that discriminate against American workers and manufacturers." On this day, Smith noted, President Trump aims to address these issues and demand fair trade treatment for American industries.
