NKY: Trump tariff s hurt candy company, offi cials tell senator Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Northern Kentucky candy company says it has been hurt by President Trump’s tariff s. The goods that Hebron’s Galerie Candy & Gifts ship in, such as ceramic mugs, became more expensive under the tariff s. So, company representatives reached out to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., for help. On Friday, Paul visited the company’s Boone County headquarters to come up with a plan to help. “I don’t think we’ll get (President Trump) to change his mind,” Paul said in the meeting. “We just have to convince him that a lot of people are being hurt in the U.S.” Tariff s are a tax on imports. Tariff s

on products could increase prices for U.S. consumers and hurt sales for the companies. Trump believes that imposing or threatening tariff s will force China and other countries to further open market to U.S. products and make other concessions, such as clamping down on the theft of U.S. intellectual property. Critics say the tariff s harm American businesses and consumers, according to USA Today. Galerie Candy & Gifts get their products domestically and internationally. The latter became an issue under the tariff s. “One of the biggest challenges for us is the fact that the tariff s are so immediate and swift,” said Galerie Candy & Gifts Sales Director Emily Edmondson in the meeting. Paying that upfront and

then waiting for their revenue to come in from selling the goods hurts the company, she explained. Paul told company offi cials they should write a letter to list the specifi c impacts the tariff s had on the company, such as a dollar amount or percentage of how much more the goods cost. Then, Paul’s team will get it to the right people and departments in D.C. “You’re not the only person complaining,” Paul said. He’s heard from farmers, bourbon distillers and manufacturers of automobile parts. Julia is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program.
