When Sarah Wells, the founder and CEO of a designer breast-pump bag company in Alexandria, Virginia, heard that the Supreme Court had struck down President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs on Friday, she felt a "huge relief." The decision "doesn't fix things overnight, but it finally gives me the ability to plan a way out of survival mode," Wells tells Reason.
For Wells and thousands of small business owners like her, Trump's trade war has brought unprecedented levels of chaos and confusion to daily operations. Instead of reshoring jobs, Wells says she was "forced to make layoffs and operational changes because of sustained tariff costs."
