On December 6, 2024, Tlaib criticized former President Trump's tariff plan. She stated that "Trump's tariff plan will be a disaster for Michigan families, raising costs on groceries and auto parts." She further described the plan as "irresponsible and harmful," noting the struggles already faced by communities in Michigan.
On December 9, 2024, Tlaib expressed concerns about the Census Bureau's methodology. She tweeted that "Detroit was undercounted because of outdated methods at the Census Bureau." She emphasized the need for change and highlighted her discussions with the Director about including a Middle Eastern and North African category to ensure comprehensive representation.
