Trump\u2019s war in the Middle East has driven fuel and building-supply prices higher, inflation has picked up again, and the odds of further rate cuts this year are dimming. <\/p>\n<p>Trump and Iranian officials announced the outline of a deal to halt the fighting on Sunday. The president is already under fire for what critics say amounts to a litany of concessions for very little in return, with the economic damage caused by the conflict likely to linger for months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a fight like has never existed before,\u201d Bruce Jovaag, the 68-year-old owner of Norse Construction, a home-remodeling firm in Fenton, Missouri, told the Times. He started his business in 2013 and enjoyed sales of around $1 million during what he calls strong years. <\/p>\n<p>They fell by almost a quarter last year, with a $3,000 tax refund barely offsetting the $10,000 he drained from savings to stay afloat. \u201cIt\u2019s been a nightmare,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m ready to retire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1622\">Trump Pretends He Didn\u2019t Just Suffer Humiliating Election Loss<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jovaag\u2019s gloomy view of the future is not an isolated one. In May, the National Federation of Independent Business posted its bleakest economic outlook since Trump\u2019s second-term win, the Times reported. <\/p>\n<p>Wholesale prices climbed 1.1 percent that month and 6.5 percent over the year\u2014the steepest annual jump since Nov. 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/p>\n<p>Bankruptcies among small firms, which drive nearly half of the nation\u2019s jobs and most new hiring, have also risen in the months following the introduction of the latest tariffs. The White House, for its part, would appear to be looking at an altogether different picture. <\/p>\n<p>Kelly Loeffler, a billionaire Trump backer who now heads the Small Business Administration, told a summit last month that \u201cAmerica First policies are restoring the American dream on Main Street to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francesca Costa and her fianc\u00e9, who run the juice bar Cranky Carrot Juice in Houston, Texas, have had to raise prices by 50 cents on cold presses and a dollar on smoothies for fear of having to shut down. \u201cWe are very worried,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is a very real possibility that we could also have to close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1621\">Trump, 80, Hurls Obscene Nickname at Rising Dem Star in Morning Meltdown<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the SBA and White House for comment on this story. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America\u2019s small businesses are buckling under the strain of economic chaos under the second Trump administration.
