Native businesses are responding to tariffs
President Donald Trump is going to defend his tariff policy before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Lower federal courts recently ruled that President Trump does not have the authority to impose tariffs under the national emergency powers. A new Pew Research Center poll found that 61 percent of Americans disapprove of his tariff policies.
Businesses like Sisseton-Wahpeton fabric designer Denise Hill are faced with having to raise prices to make up for rising costs on goods from other countries. Tune in to get a reading on the effect tariffs have had on Native-owned businesses so far.
