Coverage continues. Today our President, Andy LaFrazia, was featured on CNN Newsroom to continue the discussion around US and China tariffs and their affect on US manufacturers.

“"We buy a lot of electronic components, and quite a few of them come out of China. We have seen price increases on those as well as tariff charges we basically pay today," says president of US company ControlTek. Over time those tariffs "will pass to our customers and consumers" https://t.co/00Tj...
