Michelle Roesch, co-owner of the Emerald Cocktail Kitchen, expresses concern over the uncertainty posed by President Trump's tariffs which impact prices and availability of imported goods essential for her restaurant. With conditions reminiscent of the pandemic, Schumer highlights tariffs as chaotic and destructive, urging for legislative moves to end them. The economic strain is felt by small businesses and families, potentially increasing their annual costs substantially. Trump's ongoing tariff policies, initially aimed to bolster domestic manufacturing, have also led to financial market turbulence, aggravating an already precarious situation for local enterprises.
"It's the same kind of stress and panic we felt during the pandemic," said Roesch, the co-owner of the Emerald Cocktail Kitchen on Tipperary Hill and the soon-to-close Brasserie Bar & Bistro in Camillus.
"We don't know what will happen to prices, costs or even what will be available," Roesch said, reflecting the unpredictability stemming from Trump's tariff policies.
Schumer... described [the tariffs] as 'chaotic and destructive,' emphasizing that they disproportionately affect small businesses and local economies.
Trump's tariff plans have also caused turmoil in financial markets, as seen by the reactions from various business owners like Roesch.
