Jin10 reported on April 24 that 80% of fresh flowers in the United States rely on imports from countries such as Ecuador, Colombia, Canada, Thailand, and the Netherlands. American flower shop owners say that the government's indiscriminate imposition of tariffs has caused chaos, and a single flower could rise in price by $1.25. They are currently in a difficult situation; they are worried that if they raise prices, no one will buy, but if they don’t raise prices, they will lose money.
