     The ongoing tariff wars initiated by President Donald Trump have left U.S. small businesses with limited options to mitigate the financial impact. Tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China are causing significant increases in operational costs for these businesses. The tariffs, ranging from 10% to 25%, affect a wide range of goods, including raw materials and consumer products essential for many small enterprises.
 
     For many small businesses, absorbing tariff costs is not feasible, and they are forced to pass them on to consumers. This is evident at Field Fastener, a company based in Rockford, Illinois, which specializes in selling bolts, screws, and other components primarily sourced from China and Taiwan. These components are used in a variety of everyday products, from football helmets to elevators. As a result, businesses like Field Fastener often have no choice but to raise prices, impacting both their customers and the broader market.
 
     Experts warn that these tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers, potentially affecting demand and ultimately impacting the overall economy. As small businesses navigate these challenges, they are forced to consider alternative suppliers or adjust their business models to remain competitive in a market increasingly influenced by trade tensions.
