Small businesses across the United States continue to face significant challenges as the impact of tariffs, particularly those imposed during Trump’s administration, begins to affect their operations and profitability. Owners of various enterprises, from a cookie shop in L.A. to firms in Northeast Pennsylvania, have reported dwindling profits and heightened expenses due to the burden of import taxes. Many are turning to fintech lending startups for financial relief as they grapple with the increasing costs. In Washington state, Senator Maria Cantwell has been vocal in her opposition to these tariffs, alongside numerous small business owners, calling for the Supreme Court to review and possibly halt their enforcement. The ongoing legal battles continue as small businesses express their frustration over the uncertainty and negative repercussions of these tariffs, forcing some to reassess their future viability.
