  Small businesses are bracing for stiff tariffs that President-elect Donald Trump has proposed as one of his first actions when he takes office. Trump has proposed importers pay a 25% tax on all

The article from OzarksFirst discusses the concerns of small business owners regarding former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on imports, particularly from China. These tariffs, which Trump has suggested could be as high as 60% on Chinese goods, aim to protect American industries but could significantly impact small businesses. Owners like Michael Jones of a small manufacturing firm in Missouri express worry over increased costs for materials and potential price hikes for consumers, which could reduce demand for their products. The article highlights the dilemma small businesses face: while some support the idea of protecting domestic industries, the immediate financial strain from higher import costs could lead to layoffs, reduced profits, or even business closures.
