Tariffs, tax cuts, and timeless connections 🇺🇸 💼 On April 24, the Economic Club of Miami@gathered at the Coral Reef Yacht Club for an insightful discussion with @repcarlosfl and @aei senior fellow Kyle Pomerleau — and the real power was being in the room.

Tariffs, tax cuts, and timeless connections 🇺🇸 💼 On April 24, the Economic Club of Miami@gathered at the Coral Reef Yacht Club for an insightful discussion with @repcarlosfl and @aei senior fellow Kyle Pomerleau — and the real power was being in the room.

Last week, the Economic Club of Miami hosted @repcarlosfl and @aei Senior Fellow Kyle Pomerleau for a timely conversation on tariffs and tax cuts — with special emphasis on what is next for the U.S. economy if the Trump tax cuts are not extended (they expire December 31, 2025).

Will Americans experience the largest tax increase in history or will the tax cuts be extended? It’s always nice to have a member of Congress with us as well as a tax policy expert like Kyle Pomerleau. Their insights are powerful.

Thanks to our club member @cgrozev of AEI, for serving as a moderator for the discussion. This all took place at the Coral Reef Yacht Club in Coconut Grove. A lot of high energy networking both before and after the formal program — in perhaps the highest energy city on the planet.

If you’d like to attend gatherings like these, be sure you are a member of the Economic Club of Miami. We now have over 245 members and continue to grow! Apply here: econclubmiami.org/membership (link in bio)

There’s been a lot of talks about imports and exports, but what is the #1 export that Latin America needs from the United States?

At the Miami Economic Forum, we turned to @rodrigoarenase to answer that question. Rodrigo was born and raised in Guatemala. With a background in business, he started his own media publication, @republicaguate 15 years ago — in Guatemala. It is now expanding to the growing Spanish language audience in the U.S. (check out Republica.com), with Rodrigo spending more time in Miami as well.

He now believes that the number one export that the U.S. should be sending Latin America are the fundamental principles and practical application of a Republic.

To give some juice to this conversation, we paired Rodrigo up in a fireside chat with one the members of our club, Robert Chatfield, President of the @freetochoosenetwork
