- Shipping lines adapted routes, but analysts warn dockworker layoffs may follow, while the Supreme Court is expected to rule soon in Learning Resources v. Trump, Elisabeth Braw said.
- The administration promised a $2,000 tariff dividend, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said rebates might be tax cuts and company deals offer ad-hoc, variable relief.
- The tariff-driven rift positions countries into a more bipolar trade order as Ali Ahmadi warns Switzerland and other neutral middle powers face pressure to choose sides.
