The unilateral tariffs on Chinese imports continue to escalate, severely impacting American small businesses which form the backbone of the nation's economy. These retaliatory trade measures are causing widespread market instability, skyrocketing costs and potential bankruptcies across various industries. Such market manipulation undermines fair competition and threatens to collapse numerous small enterprises built through years of hard work. A path towards open dialogue and negotiated agreements is urgently needed to protect jobs, prevent further economic damage, and restore America's reputation as a stable market for global trade.
