On Monday’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia” podcast, the team provided the latest updates on the Trump administration’s tariffs.

Patricia Murphy interviewed Chris Clark, the President and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.

The discussion comes as President Donald Trump continues to impose high tariffs on China, one of Georgia’s top trading partners.

Tariffs could affect imports and exports in Georgia’s busy Savannah and Brunswick ports, Clark said.

He said he’s had ongoing conversations with businesses in the Peach State to help entrepreneurs navigate this uncertainty.

“We’re just trying at the Georgia chamber to keep [businesses] updated as best we can in an environment that changes literally every 15 minutes,” he said.
