## Resource

Alaska businesses are reeling from a sudden 50% tariff on Canadian imports — a brutal blow since Canada is Alaska’s top trading partner, moving billions in goods each year. With previous tariffs already squeezing margins, this new rate forces companies to scramble for alternatives, hike prices, or absorb costs — all while facing retaliatory U.S. tariffs that threaten Alaskan exports too. Experts warn these trade wars aren’t just about foreign markets; they’re effectively national sales taxes passed onto American consumers, fueling inflation. For business owners, the chaos and uncertainty are the real cost — as they fight to stay afloat in a rapidly shifting global economy with no clear roadmap forward.
