A recent report from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce places Ohio as the 7th most affected state when it comes to the tariffs enacted this year.
According to the report, Ohio has $3.3 billion in exports to Canada, Mexico, China, and Europe that are affected by the new tariffs, that includes Ohio's two major industries, manufacturing and agriculture.
Mayor David Berger says that people are feeling the effects of the tariffs even here in Lima.
"My sense is based upon hearing from local business leaders, and also from the folks that are listening to the agricultural community - there’s a great deal of concern, and I don’t think that this is the direction that we should be going in," Mayor Berger said.
The report shows that Washington state is the most affected by tariffs, with about $6.2 billion in exports at risk.
