Trump’s Tariffs Impact Tech Giants and Washington State Businesses

President Trump's recent tariff announcements have sent ripples through the technology sector, particularly affecting major companies like Meta, Amazon, and other social media giants. The New York Times reported that these tariffs are causing a significant downturn in stock prices for companies heavily reliant on advertising revenue, with social media stocks continuing to slide as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

In Washington state, the impact is felt across various industries. KING 5 highlighted how local businesses, including tech giants like Amazon and Boeing, as well as agricultural sectors like apples and cherries, are bracing for the economic fallout. Amazon, in particular, is seeking solutions to navigate the trade policy chaos, as revealed in an internal email obtained by Business Insider.

The tariffs are not only a concern for large corporations but also for smaller businesses that rely on international trade. The uncertainty in trade policy is prompting companies to reassess their strategies and potentially shift their supply chains to mitigate the impact of these new tariffs.
