The owner of a Windsor snow globe business expressed deep concern over the potential effects of President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported goods. Liz Ross, speaking in a recent phone interview, conveyed her distress, stating, “It is going to be a funeral instead of an anniversary.” Her comments reflect the anxiety felt by many small business owners who rely on affordable materials to create their products.
Ross highlighted that the tariffs could significantly increase production costs, making it difficult for her business to remain competitive. The snow globe industry, known for its intricate designs and craftsmanship, may face challenges in sourcing materials at reasonable prices. As the anniversary of her business approaches, Ross fears that the celebration could be overshadowed by financial strain and uncertainty.
With the looming tariffs, Ross's outlook is grim. She hopes for a resolution that will protect small businesses like hers from the adverse effects of these trade policies, allowing them to thrive rather than merely survive.
