World Cup boosts Oregon Latino-owned businesses after Trump slowdown

Latino-owned businesses in Oregon, like La Pulga Fantástica in Gresham, are seeing a resurgence as the World Cup brings in a flood of enthusiastic customers. This uptick in business follows a period of slowdown during the Trump administration, when immigration policies and economic uncertainties dampened growth. The bustling atmosphere at these venues highlights not just the joy of the World Cup but also the resilience of Latino communities in bouncing back from previous setbacks. This resurgence underscores the importance of cultural events in revitalizing local economies and fostering community spirit.
