Correspondent Jo Ling Kent talks with Marissa Held-Nordling, who fears she will soon be unable to stock her Little Roos children’s boutique in Chaska, Minnesota; and Beth Benike of Busy Baby, named Minnesota’s “Small Businessperson of the Year,” who says the costs imposed by tariffs may cause her to lose her house. Kent also talks with economic analyst Kyla Scanlon, who says the tariffs are an unnecessary burden.
