SAVANNAH, Georgia — Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) warned of economic consequences for Georgia’s small businesses if the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs aren’t lifted in the coming months.

“All the tariffs, you know, I’m hopeful they don’t play out too long,” said Kemp, who was a home builder and developer before entering politics, during remarks to reporters at a workforce event in Rincon, Georgia, on Friday. “If it’s short-term, I think it’s going to be great. If it’s long-term, it could be problematic.”
