Emily Ley, a small business owner from Pensacola, has filed the first lawsuit challenging Trump's tariffs, arguing they are unlawful and threaten her stationery company, Simplified. Ley's case highlights the struggles of small businesses facing high tariffs on imports from China. She emphasizes that the financial burden of tariffs, amounting to $1.17 million since 2017, has raised costs for customers and led to reduced salaries for employees. Ley's story aims to shed light on the real-world impact of these trade policies on small business owners.
"My company is like my fourth child. I'm going to go down swinging if this is the end of it."
"I cannot be quiet about this anymore. Tariffs are killing businesses."
