Trump tells small business owners tariffs 'aren't high enough'
Trump backed higher tariffs as the administration processes about $166 billion in court-ordered refunds and prepares new duties under Section 301.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump hosted a White House Small Business Summit during National Small Business Week, celebrating award winners and touting economic policies for the nation's 36 million small businesses.
- The administration highlighted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which made the 20% small business deduction permanent, allowed 100% expensing for investments, and raised estate tax exemptions to $30 million for joint filers.
- Trump told attendees, "the tariffs really aren't high enough in my opinion," while the summit honored Mark Lamoncha, owner of Humtown products, as National Business Person of the Year.
- While promoting tariff benefits, the administration processes about $166 billion in court-ordered tariff refunds following a Supreme Court ruling that Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
- Business sentiment remains divided: an April survey by the National Federation of Independent Business found 56% of respondents reported negative operational effects from tariffs, with hearings on proposed measures scheduled for May 5.
