On April 9, 2025, Kustoff shared his stance during a hearing with the House Ways and Means Committee.

His comments reflect ongoing U.S. strategies aimed at countering Russian economic activities through sanctions.

Later that day, on April 9, 2025, Kustoff remarked on domestic advancements in technology. He noted, "In a @WaysandMeansGOP hearing, I highlighted the historic investment that @xAI has made in West Tennessee."
