How tariff policies are affecting Alaskan business | Alaska Insight

Season 8 Episode 22 | 26m 46s

Alaskan businesses are heavily dependent on outside supplies that now cost more, squeezing already tight profit margins. We hear about how businesses are coping with the added expense on this Alaska Insight.
