The 50% tariff was first set to take effect on June 1st, but this has been pushed to July 7th. Meanwhile, businesses are adjusting to the new international duties in a variety of ways. Some are turning to a little-used customs law.

Duolingo CEO and cofounder Luis von Ahn just made a statement on AI tools at his company, saying that he doesn’t “see AI as replacing what our employees do.”This view certainly appears to be a reversal of the company’s stance one week earlier, when the CEO said that the company was going to “stop using contractors” due to a major shift that would make Duolingo an “AI-first” company.

The power of the president’s tweets is unmatched, with a single post threatening to put a 25% tariff on Apple products tanking the company’s stock. It’s no secret: President Trump wants to Apple to make iPhones in the US.

The tariffs are hitting TikTok, with the popular social media platform informing US ecommerce employees that there would be a number of “personnel changes” in response to lower than expected sales in 2025.

From large corporations to small startups, the economic impact has been nothing if not substantial.
How Trump's 90-Day Pause on China Tariffs Could Affect Logistics

2 weeks ago | tech.co | Shefali Kapadia

Sigh of relief? Calm before the storm? Those are among the questions supply chain and logistics leaders are contending with as they face reduced China tariffs over the next two and a half months. This month, the U.S. and China agreed to lower tariffs on imported goods from China to 30%, down from 145% enacted in April. The lower tariffs are in effect for 90 days as the two countries work to hammer out a deal. What does the pause mean for global supply chains and domestic trucking companies?

China is levying a new 75% tax on US imports of polyformaldehyde copolymers, a thermoplastic that’s crucial for certain engineering needs. This new tax will be imposed despite the current 90-day tariff pause between the US and China — the new duty is not a part of the previously announced reciprocal tariffs that are being paused, but it’s potentially signalling a continued escalation of the tariff battle between the two world powers. That’s far from all the tariff news out in the last few days.

Driverless Truck Company Aurora Adds Humans to Driver Seats

2 weeks ago | tech.co | Adam Rowe

Less than a month ago, driverless freight operation Aurora Innovation launched a first-of-its-kind program in Texas that would put commercial self-driving trucks on US public roads. Now, it’s walking back just a little of that innovation. Aurora’s new change will put a human driver behind the wheel, although they’ll just be there as an “observer” who can jump in if anything goes wrong — the truck will still be driving itself.

House Republicans have just introduced a new version of the massive Budget Reconciliation bill that includes new language that — if passed — will stop states from enacting regulation on artificial intelligence.
