TARIFF IMPACTS: Rhode Island Manufacturers Association Executive Director David Chenevert said the impact of tariffs and the slowing of the world economy has affected businesses differently in Rhode Island.

Companies producing products for the automotive industry, however, are seeing an impact because auto sales are down nationally.
