Here Are the Places Where the Recession Has Already Begun
Briefly

Towns bordering Canada are facing economic hardships due to unexpected tariffs on goods, such as grain, which impact farmers like Nicholas Gilbert. These tariffs, imposed due to trade policies started by the Trump administration, have created financial strain for American business owners unable to adjust prices or find alternative suppliers. The additional costs can lead to projects being postponed, layoffs, and frustration over contractual agreements, leaving farmers questioning the legality and fairness of the situation. This region is at risk of slipping into recession due to these pressures, affecting local economies and livelihoods.
Nicholas Gilbert's struggle highlights the immediate impact of tariffs on American farmers; despite contracts and expectations, they bear the financial burden of unexpected costs.
