Alabama business hits hurdles creating American-made product

Season 2025 Episode 170 | 8m 45s

The sweeping tariffs imposed by President Trump are already impacting the global economy.

Paul Solman reports on the hurdles one man in Alabama faced while trying to make a product entirely in America and what it suggests about the challenges ahead.
