Rep. Tom Tiffany, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Wisconsin’s 7th district since 2020, has been outspoken on a range of issues through his recent social media posts. Tiffany, who succeeded Sean Duffy in Congress, has also served in the Wisconsin State Assembly and Senate. Here is a breakdown of his recent statements on the World Trade Organization (WTO) and domestic welfare reform.

On April 10, 2025, Tiffany criticized the World Trade Organization, expressing concerns over its alleged neglect of unfair trade practices by China, as well as issues related to human rights abuses. He stated, "The WTO has repeatedly overlooked China’s unfair trade practices and human rights abuses, undermined American farmers and manufacturers, and eroded our national sovereignty." The congressman shared a link to an exclusive article on Breitbart News for more context.

The following day, April 11, 2025, Tiffany reiterated his stance by suggesting a withdrawal of the United States from the WTO. He declared, "It’s time for the U.S. to GET OUT of the World Trade Organization and declare independence from this China-first, globalist cartel." This statement signals his advocacy for significant geopolitical change in trade relations.

In another tweet on April 11, Tiffany addressed domestic issues regarding the Biden administration's policies on foreign terrorists. He accused the administration of releasing foreign terrorists into communities and alleged that they have received government assistance. Tiffany stated, "The Biden administration released foreign terrorists into our communities and even allowed them to cash in on food stamps and Medicaid. This is why we need welfare reform." His post reflects a call for reforms to current welfare policies in the U.S.

Tom Tiffany, born in 1957 in Wabasha, Minnesota, resides in Minocqua and is an alumnus of the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where he graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science.
