What We’re Reading
From tariffs to couture and AI’s next move, we’re reading about what’s keeping those in the industry up at night as well as what’s inspiring them.
Trump Announces 30% Duties on EU, Mexico
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump issued open letters to Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, announcing sweeping 30% tariffs on all goods starting Aug. 1, according to a recent article in Sourcing Journal. Trump cited Mexico’s insufficient action against drug trafficking and signaled potential additional duties for transshipped or retaliatory goods. It’s still unclear whether U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement-covered products will be exempt, adding fresh uncertainty for global supply chains.
AI Shopping is Here. Will Retailers Get Left Behind?
As AI shopping tools gain traction, retailers are rethinking how their websites and digital strategies appear—not just to human shoppers, but to AI itself. According to an article in Business of Fashion, companies are adapting site design and online marketing to be more AI-friendly, recognizing that traditional e-commerce elements can confuse automated shopping agents. While AI-assisted shopping is still emerging, experts say it’s likely to become a standard part of the consumer journey.
