Rep. Michelle Fischbach, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota’s 7th district, shared a series of tweets on February 13 and 14, 2025, addressing topics related to agriculture and international trade. Her posts reflect her engagement with both domestic agricultural policies and global economic issues.

On February 13, Rep. Fischbach expressed her support for the appointment of Brooke Rollins as the 33rd U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. She stated: "Congratulations to the 33rd U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins! This is a great appointment for Minnesota farmers, and I look forward to working with her and the Trump administration for our strong rural communities."

The following day, on February 14, Rep. Fischbach addressed concerns regarding international trade tariffs faced by U.S. exporters. She remarked: "U.S. exporters face higher tariffs in 132 countries and across 600,000 product lines. American businesses deserve a fair shot at competing in global markets. Imposing the same tariffs being imposed on us shows the world the U.S. will no longer be taken advantage of."

Later that day, she posted another tweet which included only a link: "https://t.co/BFvg3gYMDM" The content or context of this link was not elaborated upon in her other communications.
