Panic is growing among U.S. small businesses, with owners fearing that Trump's new tariffs could threaten their survival.
The article from Newsweek discusses the impact of former President Donald Trump's proposed reciprocal tariffs on small businesses in the U.S. Trump's idea of imposing tariffs on countries that charge high tariffs on American goods was intended to level the playing field for U.S. exporters. However, small business owners expressed concerns that these tariffs could lead to increased costs for imported goods and materials, potentially harming their operations. The article highlights the experiences of several small business owners, such as a furniture maker who relies on imported wood and a clothing retailer dependent on foreign textiles. These entrepreneurs fear that higher tariffs would force them to raise prices, which could reduce demand and threaten their businesses' survival. The piece also notes that while some larger corporations might absorb these costs, small businesses often lack the financial flexibility to do so, making them particularly vulnerable to the effects of such trade policies.
