Sarasota Review

Congressman Greg Steube has recently used his social media platform to highlight legislative initiatives and political positions on issues ranging from trade with China to U.S. military history and tax policy for American workers.

On August 31, 2025, Steube stated, "China consistently violates our trade rules and regulations. My Secure Trade Act puts American workers and businesses first by cracking down on China’s rampant abuses." He included a link for readers to learn more about the proposed legislation.

The following day, September 1, 2025, Steube posted a message marking Labor Day: "Happy Labor Day!

Thanks to President Trump and House Republicans, working Americans now have No Tax on Tips and No Tax on Overtime. And our work has only just begun."

On September 2, 2025, Steube announced new legislation regarding the historical naming of the U.S. military: "Today, I joined with @SenMikeLee to introduce legislation restoring the Department of War name to our Armed Forces.

From 1789 until the end of World War II, the United States military fought under the banner of the Department of War. It is only right we pay tribute to their"

These statements come as part of ongoing discussions in Congress over economic policy toward China and tax relief measures for American workers. The Secure Trade Act referenced by Steube aims to address concerns among lawmakers about China's adherence to international trade agreements—a recurring topic in U.S.-China relations.

Additionally, recent efforts in Congress have focused on changes to federal taxation affecting tipped employees and overtime pay. These proposals align with broader Republican initiatives aimed at reducing taxes for certain categories of workers.

The proposal regarding renaming a branch of the armed forces reflects debates over historical recognition within federal institutions. The Department of War was originally established in 1789 but was renamed after World War II as part of postwar government reorganization.
