American railway modelling in the Trump era

[DelW]

I'm not sure whether this should go here or in the Trump presidency thread, but the railway model suppliers in the US are sufficiently worried about the impacts of tariffs that they've collaborated on a video:

The following message is not political. It is brought to you by the Hobby Industry Coalition, comprised of various hobby manufacturers, publications and distributors coming together to to protect small businesses. For the model train industry, in particular, we are entering a turbulent time for international business.

Please stay tuned for more initiatives and information on our next steps.

Thank you for supporting us and keeping the model railroading hobby alive.

It potentially will affect us too, if a Chinese factory shuts down because of it then it is quite possible they are also making stuff for other markets too.

Tariff war seems to have cooled off anyway after the business genius folded.
