Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 5th district, recently shared his perspectives on various national and international issues through a series of tweets.

In another tweet from March 12, 2025, Rep. Cleaver addressed economic concerns related to inflation and trade policies. While acknowledging recent positive developments in inflation rates between January and February, he warned that "President Trump’s trade war and tariff taxes threaten the progress we’ve made in our battle to lower costs for the American people."
