An American importer of Chinese wine has told Reuters that new US tariffs on China will be “catastrophic” for her business.
Camden Hague was getting ready to launch her company, but says President Donald Trump’s tariffs could throw everything off course.
We’re literally just about to launch this business and launch these wine makers here in America, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to reorder because the math won’t add up,” she says.
She describes Trump’s aim of creating more American jobs through tariffs as “an illusion”.
I’m trying to live the American dream. I’m a young American business owner. I found an amazing opportunity, and I’m trying to fulfil that in the market. And this is literally stopping that from happening.”
