Tariffs Threaten Little India Businesses in New Jersey

Tariffs Threaten Little India Businesses in New Jersey

Imagine a busy street called Little India, filled with shops selling beautiful clothes, jewelry, and tasty food from India.

The government put extra taxes, called tariffs, on things coming from India.

This has made everything more expensive.

Jewelry shops are struggling because gold prices are already high.

Clothes and food are also more expensive, making it harder for these businesses to make money.

Some people who voted for the previous president, hoping for a strong economy, are now worried about the tariffs' impact.

Despite the challenges, the community is trying to adapt and keep their traditions alive.
