The resolution reflects a consolidated view that ensuring favorable trade conditions is essential for sustaining jobs and facilitating economic growth across both rural and urban areas.
House Resolution 34 aims to reaffirm Michigan's commitment to fostering strong and fair commercial relationships with North American trading partners, particularly Canada and Mexico.
