Local Perspectives on the Potential Impact of New Tariffs
As a follow-up to earlier posts on the upcoming tariffs, this is simply a collection of links to news articles and video clips from our "flyover states" talking about the impact either on regional economies OR smaller groups of people in a particular industry (like farmers)
Here are some annotated links to news articles and local video clips on the potential impact of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China in our general region:
