On January 30, 2025, Congressman Krishnamoorthi commented on the impact of President Trump's policies, stating that "We are already beginning to see the domino effect caused by President Trump’s discriminatory policies.

The following day, January 31, 2025, he highlighted the importance of technological investments for regional economic growth. He noted that "Investments in cutting edge technology like quantum are the key to the Illinois economy and keeping America’s competitive advantage over our competition. It was great to join the @ChicagoQuantum on Tuesday to talk about creating more jobs for our region."

Later on January 31, 2025, Congressman Krishnamoorthi addressed potential economic repercussions due to proposed tariffs by President Trump. He suggested an alternative headline: “Trump tariffs on two of our closest partners Mexico and Canada could land this weekend.
