He supported the administration's efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, but also advocated for reducing harmful regulations in Michigan to lower gas prices and other costs of living. James discussed the potential impact of Canada imposing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., which could harm Michigan's economy and automotive industry. He pledged to work with the White House and Canada to avoid such damaging measures and maintain trade relations that benefit the state.",
