Small businesses are reeling under the weight of Trump tariffs. Eunice Byun is the CEO of Material Kitchen, a small business that sells kitchenware for the home. She says the complexity of her supply chain has increased tenfold. Anjali Bhargava the owner of Anjali’s Cup which sells chai concentrate and turmeric blends says the current economic climate along with tariffs are threatening her livelihood. The U.S. has about 36 million small businesses that account for about 99.9% of all U.S. businesses.
