WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—Steve Cambronne voted for Donald Trump three times. Now, he hopes the president’s far-reaching tariffs don’t hurt his small business. 

Cambronne, 70 years old, a Fort Myers-based artist, said sales of his whimsical, metallic sculptures were down this weekend, a decline he blames on public concern about the fallout from the tariffs. He decided to skip a coming art show in the Washington, D.C., area because he thinks laid-off federal workers might not have enough spare cash to buy his art.
