Hickey最初希望关税能够帮助小零售商竞争,但现在却面临着由廉价进口品充斥市场的大型连锁店的激烈竞争。 Hickey initially hoped tariffs would help small retailers compete but now faces stiff competition from large chains flooding the market with cheap imports. 他仍然希望适应性和创造性将有助于独立商店的生存。 He remains hopeful that adaptability and creativity will help independent stores survive.
