President Trump tariff fight fuels small business uncertainty

President Trump's tariff policies have created uncertainty and challenges for small businesses in the U.S., as reported by WMUR in 2018. The article highlights how these tariffs, particularly on steel and aluminum, have increased costs for small manufacturers like Standish Steel, which faced higher prices for raw materials and had to pass these costs onto customers. This situation led to concerns about potential job losses and reduced competitiveness in the global market. Small business owners expressed frustration over the unpredictability of the trade environment, with some like Mike Tamulevich from Standish Steel noting that the tariffs were causing more harm than good by disrupting established supply chains and increasing operational costs. The article also mentions the broader economic implications, with fears that the ongoing trade war could lead to a slowdown in economic growth and further complicate the business landscape for small enterprises.
