This move has had a significant impact on cross-border e-commerce platforms like Temu and SHEIN, raising costs and squeezing profit margins. Additionally, the Trump administration reinstated steel and aluminum tariffs on Mexico and Canada and imposed a 10% extra tariff on Chinese goods, further advancing the &#8220;de-China&#8221; strategy.
