MI Congresswoman Haley Stevens Blasts Trump’s Reckless Tariffs as Manufacturing Shrinks for Ninth Consecutive Month

December 2, 2025 Press Release “Michigan can’t afford any more Trump-driven manufacturing setbacks." WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, a new report from the Institute for Supply Management showed that U.S. manufacturing has shrunk for the ninth month in a row, with nearly two-thirds of manufacturers now ‘managing head count’ as opposed to hiring. In response to the ongoing Trump tariff chaos squeezing manufacturers, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens issued the following statement: “Trump’s reckless tariffs are slamming Michigan manufacturers: driving up costs, slowing production, and making it harder for Michigan workers to get good-paying jobs. Michigan can’t afford any more Trump-driven manufacturing setbacks. “We need real solutions that strengthen our manufacturing economy, lower costs, and protect our workers. I will keep working to keep Michigan at the center of American manufacturing and support hard-working families across our state.” ### Issues : Economy How We’re Responding to the Trump Administration
