How a CEO and Trump Donor Is Weaponizing Tariffs Against His Rivals

Marty Davis, CEO of Cambria, has used his ties to President Trump to push for tariffs on imported quartz, benefiting his company but hurting competitors. Critics say the tariffs destroy jobs at small businesses and raise prices for homeowners.

Davis argues they protect American manufacturing jobs from unfair foreign competition. The dispute highlights the power of political connections in trade policy.

- Cambria is the top U.S. quartz manufacturer, employing 1,800 people.

- Competitors like Marble Uniques face job cuts due to higher import costs. - Davis hosted a $100,000-per-person fundraiser for Trump.

- Trump will decide on additional quartz tariffs. The outcome will affect the housing market and small businesses nationwide.
