The Trump Administration is preparing to announce another round of tariffs next week on April 2. These latest tariffs and potential corresponding retaliatory actions are fueling economic uncertainty, leaving small businesses, farmers, and consumers concerned about their future. Unpredictable trade policies are forcing business owners and farmers to rethink their business plans and creating supply instability. And, consumers are sharing concerns about higher prices. The result is a growing sense of pessimism across industries, with concerns mounting over long-term economic stability.
On Tuesday, April 1, Maine small business owners, economic professors, and farmers/ranchers will headline a press call to discuss how tariffs are impacting their businesses and communities.
