Just as Japan's top trade negotiator traveled to Washington for another round of tariff talks last week, a bipartisan delegation bearing the name of “Japan-China Friendship” wrapped up a visit to Beijing.

E-commerce platform Temu, best known for selling cheap products from China, announced it halted shipments to the U.S. Here's why.

Temu, a popular China-based e-tailer, halted shipments to the United States after President Donald Trump ended a trade loophole exempting low-value goods from tariffs. Temu has historically benefited from a provision called the “de minimis rule” that exempted goods worth $800 or less from tariffs.
