Looking to the future
To this day, Mendoza must deal with the uncertain environment that Trump has created the tariff pronouncements outside again.
As a support plan, he said, Mendoza has defeated some orders directly to the United Kingdom to avoid the duties of the United States. But it is an expensive hedge: he said he cuts his final result.
It remains anxious for more climbs from Trump.
“If it goes back to 145%, I will not be able to import my next shipment to the United States,” Mendoza said. It has a delivery time of approximately five months and has to be able to make decisions with certainty.
“Because they are selling so well, I need to start working in my next order now,” he said.
A closer look at this time in time
Mendoza describes himself as “strong political feelings.”
“I don’t like how things are right now,” he said.
He called to the insistence of the Trump administration to move vast manufacturing operations from abroad to the United States “a slap on the face” to small businesses.
“It sounds very good if you do not understand how logistics works. For my product, the reason it is sold is because it is the cheapest thing you can buy,” he said, pointing out the reality that the affordable manufacture outside the United States helps him maintain his low prices.
As a single father, Mendoza is working to try to take his two daughters to university. Among those expenses and financing of Chrono Clean, said Mendoza, his financial cushion is thin.
It is even more heartbreaking given what happened, he said.
“It’s like, ‘You’ve deployed, you started as a private, retired, a specialty, crossed a horrible divorce, you are a great father and now you’ve started your own business and invented a product that people want, they beg you,'” he said about Chrono Clean.
“Then here comes his own government to break that dream so that the big companies and Elon Musk can enrich themselves,” Mendoza said.
“For me, that is not the American dream. It is a small business, Central America, everyone should have a good opportunity for this. [The tariffs] Potentially it will leave me out of the business. It’s hard to wrap it with your head. “
