Global Leaders Clash with Trump Over Tariff and Border Policies

US firms are bracing for the impact of President Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada, which could significantly affect supply chains and prices. Businesses like handbag designer MinkeeBlue are stockpiling goods and seeking alternative suppliers to mitigate potential costs. While some experts believe Trump's tariff threats may be negotiation tactics, the uncertainty is already causing economic disruptions, with companies like Steve Madden and Stanley Black & Decker adjusting their strategies. The National Retail Federation warns that these tariffs could increase consumer costs by billions annually.
