Days after announcing stiff tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, President Trump agreed to delay them for a month, following announcements to ramp up security at national borders.
Had the tariffs gone into effect on Mexico and Canada, they could have impacted a wide range of goods, from avocados to alcohol to new cars. While there is now a pause, small business owners say they are still poised to take big hits.Sisters Beth Vasquez and Jenn Haydon founded a Livermore-based vegan, cruelty-free, and organic beauty line called Demented Sisters Beauty. All of their products are formulated in Canada and sold online.
Meanwhile, the economic uncertainty is forcing the Demented Sisters to take a pause as well."It’s frustrating. I would say that we’ve done so much ourselves - our website, advertising, we did the logo ourselves, and we just invested in doing rebranding. Just about to launch with the rebrand, we’re having to really take a step back," said Vasquez.
