Recently, President Trump has implemented, reversed, and paused several tariff policies, including a new 25% tariff on Canadian steel imports. This has caused confusion among manufacturers, especially small to medium-sized companies that lack flexibility in their supply chains. Many are questioning the permanence of these tariffs, which they fear could disrupt established relationships with suppliers. Trade groups are advocating for a stable approach that protects U.S. exports while addressing the challenges posed by tariffs, particularly as they may hinder domestic manufacturing and exacerbate labor shortages.
