The Trump Administration is preparing to announce another round of tariffs today, 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 brewers 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.
Today, April 2, North Carolina small business owners, brewers, farmers and outdoor equipment manufacturers will headline a press conference to discuss how tariffs are impacting their businesses and communities.
