As President Trump addressed Congress, the business community was eager for a clear commitment to policies that drive growth, opportunity, and American prosperity. These priorities are critical for businesses of all sizes and the workers they support:
Making Pro-Growth Tax Cuts Permanent: The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act boosted wages, investment, and economic expansion. Without action, families and businesses will face the largest tax hike in history in 2025. Your Chamber is one of many leading the charge to keep these reforms in place.
Prioritizing Smarter Trade Policies: Excessive tariffs drive up costs for businesses and families. We support solutions that reduce economic strain while tackling critical issues like border security and regulatory reform.
Unleashing AI Innovation: AI is a game-changer for American competitiveness. The administration must prevent a patchwork of overregulation that stifles progress and instead champion a national, risk-based approach.
Expanding U.S. Energy Leadership: America’s energy sector is booming, but outdated permitting laws and restrictions on LNG exports limit our full potential. Smart reforms will create jobs, strengthen national security, and fuel global demand.
Cutting Excessive Red Tape: Overregulation stifles business growth. Policymakers must continue reversing burdensome rules, ensuring a balanced, pro-business environment that fosters innovation and economic expansion.
Fixing Immigration to Grow Our Workforce: A secure border and a modern, legal immigration system are both essential. Outdated visa programs and quotas are holding back America’s ability to lead in AI, STEM, and manufacturing.
Bottom line: A strong, competitive economy depends on policies that empower businesses and workers. Your Chamber stands with the U.S. Chamber, ready to work with our new administration to ensure every American and Wyoming community thrives.
