Being a kind and hospitable host is in our DNA…

But we treat those who love freedom, value hard work, appreciate conservative policy, and (former) Marines especially well!

Always good to visit with my friend, Japanese Ambassador Yamada!

Mississippi and Japan are stronger together.

Japan remains Mississippi’s Number One foreign direct investment partner, and we’re grateful for the opportunities our partnership creates. 🇺🇸 🇯🇵

Did you know Mississippi exported $14.2 billion in goods in 2025?

That growth represents a 31 percent increase over the past decade, reinforcing Mississippi’s momentum in global trade.

Today, companies in Mississippi are reaching key international markets like Mexico, Panama and Canada, supported by infrastructure built for speed and reliability.

Behind that success is a system designed to move with business. The Mississippi Development Authority partners directly with companies to reduce barriers, expand into new markets and compete with confidence on a global stage.

Today is RED Friday — Remember Everyone Deployed

It’s also Silver Star Service Banner Day, a time to honor the brave men and women who have been wounded, fallen, or sacrificed in service to our country—and the families who stand behind them.

And today marks the start of Military Appreciation Month, a time dedicated to recognizing the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of all who serve and have served.

One simple way to show your support? Wear RED today ❤️

It’s a small act that sends a powerful message to our deployed troops: you are not forgotten.

Take a moment today to honor, remember, and show your support.
