A South Carolina consumer electronics manufacturer is closing a plant with 126 employees as the Trump administration’s trade policies force companies to compensate for higher supply costs.
Winnsboro, S.C.-based Element Electronics attributed its move to President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports, imposed earlier this year, according to The State newspaper. The company couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
