Tariffs reshape U.S. e-commerce: Temu and Shein confront new challenges
The U.S.-China trade war, initiated by President Donald Trump, was marked by a series of reciprocal tariffs aimed at addressing trade imbalances and alleged unfair practices by China.

This led to calls for stricter regulations and taxation to level the playing field for American retailers and ensure compliance with import laws. This overhaul of U.S. trade policy, particularly the elimination of the “de
