BARNESVILLE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — It’s top of mind for many Americans: Tariffs. On Tuesday, Congressman Dan Meuser spoke to business leaders in Schuylkill County about President Trump’s tariff policies.

As the trade landscape under the Trump administration continues to change, some tariff plans have been paused while others remain in place.

Congressman Meuser recognized that while the tariffs have impacted the markets and area industries, he believes that in the end, President Trump’s plans will benefit the US.

WILKES-BARRE — U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser said President Donald Trump has reinvigorated American manufacturing by keeping U.S. Steel at home in Pennsylvania.

“Today he has truly proven himself to be the Man of Steel,” said Rep. Meuser, R-Dallas. “Keeping U.S. Steel here at home protects Pennsylvania jobs, fuels a modern manufacturing revival from Pittsburgh to the Mon Valley, and sends an unmistakable message that Made in the USA is back for good.”

Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Dan Meuser joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to talk about whether he expects the GOP-controlled Senate to make significant changes to President Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill”, which was passed by the House on Thursday.

“Look, this is, if you agree with 90% of something, I think that means it’s a go. If they’re going to have some nuance changes, that’s understandable okay knock yourself out try your best behind closed doors but in the end they need to be supportive and they send something back to us that’s okay. But look, again on savings, we want more savings but this isn’t the last bill we’re ever going to pass. We will have another shot at reconciliation again next year. There’s so much in this bill for taxes, for our national security, for our border, for economy. We’re going to bring down inflation, which will bring down interest rates. We’ll make housing, for instance, that much more affordable. It needs to happen now."

“I believe we were elected to work with President Trump to improve our country — to improve our national security, strengthen our economy, bring fiscal sanity to our budget, deliver accountability, and lead the world toward peace,” Meuser’s news release said. “And frankly, to bring back common sense so people start trusting the government again. That’s what this Big Beautiful Bill is about.”

Two local lawmakers voted in support of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

U.S. Reps. Rob Bresnahan, R-8, of Dallas Twp., and Dan Meuser, R-9, Jackson Twp., voted to usher the multitrillion-dollar tax breaks package through the House of Representatives early Thursday morning. It passed with a one-vote margin.

On Tuesday, Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09) announced the winners of the 2025 Congressional Art Competition, with all three top honors going to students from Schuylkill Haven Area High School.

The annual nationwide contest offers high school students a chance to showcase their artistic talent, with first-place entries displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.
