Trump’s Tariffs Hit Small U.S. Manufacturers Hard

New and increased tariffs under former President Trump’s recent trade push are squeezing small manufacturers across the country. Many are discovering that moving production back home isn’t so simple—or affordable. South Carolina entrepreneur Rozalynn Goodwin shared her frustration:

“Every manufacturer in the United States we’ve spoken to has told us, ‘You need to continue making this in China. It’s going to cost you three to four times more to make it here.’ Our customers will not pay $8 or $10 more for this product.” Rozalynn Goodwin, NPR
