Woe Is The Pinata, A Casualty Of Trump Trade War

Southern California shop owners fear new tariffs against China will affect their bottom line for party supply and pinata sales AFP The humble pinata has become one of the latest targets to take a whacking in US President Donald Trump's trade war. Party store owner Patricia Loperena said she has supplied fewer parties this year than last, which means she is selling fewer of the colorful candy-filled papier mache favors at her southern California establishment. Another blow to Loperena's business? The rising cost of the raw materials to make trinkets and custom pinatas, a traditional game of Latino children's parties that are now popular in much of the United States.
