When the U.S. rolled out tariffs under the Trump administration, many Americans didn’t expect the ripple effects to hit their wallets and businesses this hard. From automotive parts to luxury goods, entrepreneurs are now sounding the alarm: trade wars might just be a lose-lose game. 🛠️💔
CGTN Stringer spoke with Albert Solis, a U.S. automotive parts salesman, who summed it up bluntly: “It’s a trade war—not good for anyone.” He stressed that trust and market confidence are critical, adding, “If the market fails, it’s gonna affect us all.”
Luxury store owner Viktor Yale echoed the sentiment, highlighting how retaliatory tariffs have strained international supply chains and spiked retail prices. “Nobody wins when prices go up and trust goes down,” he said.
With escalating costs for businesses and consumers alike, the question remains: Can global trade tensions cool down before the economic toll gets worse? 🌍⚖️
