Exclusive: Trump's tariff deal ‘quietly' added 10% raise which nobody is complaining about anymore, says his former commerce secretary
Wilbur Ross, former Commerce Secretary and a key architect of Trump's first-term trade policy, describes Trump's current tariff strategy as a deliberate evolution: moving faster, hitting harder, and using broader executive powers to impose tariffs for both economic and diplomatic leverage. The Trump administration's use of tariffs has sparked debate over the ultimate goals of its economic strategy. However, a former Cabinet member and key trade advisor to the President has suggested there is an underlying logic to the approach. Since winning the Oval Office, President Trump has announced an evolving range of policies. with economic sanctions spinning higher on some trade partners while others have been granted pauses. Many of the announcements have not come through official White House channels; for example, Trump threatened a 50% tariff on the EU in April in a bid to get European negotiators to the table—by posting on his social media site, Truth Social. Indeed, Trump has come under scrutiny from Beijing, arguably the most critical region for the U.S. to make a deal, who claim America's tariff tactics have been 'coercion and blackmail' when instead it should 'convey information to the Chinese side…through relevant parties.' But Wilbur Ross, Trump's Commerce Secretary in his first administration, says there's a clear tactic at play beneath Trump's bluster. The 87-year-old banker turned D.C. power player said there is an 'art' to Trump's dealmaking, as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has suggested; Ross told Fortune in an exclusive interview: 'Well, everybody's reaction to [tariffs] was first shock and amazement, but the actual retaliatory measures that they put in were fairly modest—even China didn't match in dollar for dollar. 'There's a real reason for that, I think the other countries, as they've thought about it, have recognized that while they have to talk very bravely for their domestic political constituencies… They also recognize that at the end of the day, they can't afford a tit-for-tat escalating trade war with us.' And this was a fact Trump was relying on, continued Ross: 'One of the earliest things he put in was that 10% tariff on everything from everywhere. 'Nobody is even complaining about that anymore. When you think about it, in the normal course, getting quietly to do a 10% tariff on everything from everywhere was a huge achievement, even if he didn't get anything else. But because he followed it with these much more extreme things, it makes the 10% look like it's not such a big bother. 'But it's a huge number, and he's been collecting it every day.' Indeed, imported goods alone into the U.S. in 2024 stood at $3.36 trillion—even before tax, duties, and levies were collected (worth $82 billion) and before imported services are added to those figures. Even 10% of near-$3.4 trillion is an eye-watering sum to add to federal budgets, though some items like autos and steel are even higher. Indeed nations like China, Canada, and Mexico are all already subject to more than the baseline 10% universal tariff. When Ross spoke to Fortune in a previous exclusive interview earlier this year, he said President Trump would be all the more confident in his second term because he now better understands the inner workings of Washington, D.C., and has a stronger mandate courtesy of a solid election sweep. And President Trump's tactics, which have included everything from threatening a 25% hike on Apple's iPhones specifically to raising sanctions to more than 150% on China at some points, reflect the path Ross expected. After all, as Secretary, Ross was one of the key allies in Trump's team when renegotiating America's position on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). At the time, Trump was a fierce critic of the deal with Mexico and Canada and wanted to withdraw from the agreement and begin negotiating from there. Ross felt the better tactic was to threaten such action and keep an exit as a last resort, an opinion that Trump eventually came around to agreeing with. Likewise, having been appointed in 2017 Ross oversaw the tariff action in the first Trump administration which included sanctions on Chinese goods as well as aluminum and steel more widely. 'He has started out on a much more adventurous path than last time,' Ross told Fortune this week. 'Broader in scope and more extreme in terms of the numbers themselves.' Trump has three objectives, he adds: shrinking trade deficits, producing revenue to offset his 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' and achieving other diplomatic purposes such as the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. and global defense spending. 'He has a much more fulsome, much more complicated agenda than before,' Ross explains. 'It's also different in…that last time I was very careful to set the groundwork to do public hearings, stakeholder meetings, to do written reports, to set a whole record so that under the Administrative Procedures Act we would be relatively safe from people trying to knock it out in court. 'This time, they did a very different thing. They went in mostly just by his say so using the IFA, the Emergency Powers Act, and they ran into a snag at the Court for International Trade.' This snag may alter the course of tariff reaction on the account of businesses, he added, because their investment timelines may shift based on when the tariffs are legally approved. But Ross added: 'Most people are operating under the assumption that sooner or later, he'll get something like what he was looking for…and therefore, while it's slowed down a bit, [I] don't think it will derail [trade talks] because [foreign governments] also know there are other ways he could punish them rather than just the tariffs. 'So it's a bump in the road, but I don't think it's a huge pothole that would wreck the car.' This story was originally featured on

Starbucks' new game plan to roll out AI chatbots at cafés could serve as a ‘litmus test' for the industry, analyst says
As continues its 'get back to Starbucks' plan to revive slumping sales, the company announced it will implement an OpenAI-powered chatbot to remind baristas of drink recipes and assist them with equipment troubleshooting. Analysts told Fortune the move could help streamline hiring and efficiency, but it also carries with it the pitfalls of AI, including the potential for hallucinations and outages. Starbucks is betting on AI to give its baristas some extra help behind the counter. The Seattle-based coffee chain announced Tuesday the launch of 'Green Dot Assist,' an AI-powered virtual assistant intended to simplify baristas' jobs and fulfill orders faster. Starbucks will pilot the technology created with Microsoft Azure's OpenAI platform at 35 locations and will roll it out nationwide next year. The AI assistant will pull recipe cards of drinks to show baristas how to make them, as well as suggesting swaps if ingredients run out, the company said. The tech will also suggest food pairings to suggest to customers, provide troubleshooting support for malfunctioning equipment, and help managers find employees to backfill shifts should a store be short-staffed. 'It's just another example of how innovation technology is coming into service of our partners and making sure that we're doing all we can to simplify the operations, make their jobs just a little bit easier—maybe a little bit more fun—so that they can do what they do best,' Starbucks chief technology officer Deb Hall Lefevre told CNBC. Starbucks first announced the tech at its Leadership Experience event on Tuesday, when it also unveiled plans to expand the position of assistant manager by adding the role to 'most company-operated stores in the U.S,' hiring about 90% of management internally. The swath of labor changes are the latest in CEO Brian Niccol's efforts for the company to 'get back to Starbucks' and revive its cozy-coffeehouse reputation amid slumping sales. The company reported in April its fourth straight quarter of same-store sales declines, in part a result of economic uncertainty putting a damper on demand. As part of the turnaround efforts, Starbucks will have to draw on its big brand name and past goodwill from customers to refocus on what made the chain popular to begin with. 'All brands drift over time, and I have pattern recognition,' Starbucks CFO Cathy Smith told Fortune in April. 'I've seen this with a number of brands, and the great ones recapture what made them great.' The move follows the lead of other restaurant chains deploying AI. Yum! Brands, the conglomerate behind KFC and Taco Bell, has partnered with Nvidia to take drive-thru and digital orders. McDonald's, however, cancelled its contract with IBM after two years and returned humans to drive-thru order-taking. While restaurants have had mixed results with AI, analysts see Starbucks' recent moves to leverage the technology as largely positive, so long as the company uses it effectively. Logan Reich, an analyst at RBC Capital, told Fortune that while the introduction of an AI chatbot won't be instrumental in increasing revenue, it can help train and onboard staff more efficiently, particularly as the company invests in internal promotions and giving employees more hours. Announcing new management opportunities alongside implementation of AI tools also sends the signal to workers that AI won't be taking their jobs anytimes soon, according to Gadjo Sevilla, a senior AI and tech analyst at eMarketer. 'What they're trying to show here is that, with regard to adoption, is that they can make it work with longtime staff,' Sevilla told Fortune. 'So it's not replacing jobs, it's enhancing jobs, with regards to the new hires.' But as with any rollout including AI, Starbucks may experience hiccups like hallucinations. 'Making sure that the chatbot is accurate and providing in an accurate way and not causing more issues—I think that's going to be a critical aspect of rolling out to a broad storebase,' Reich said. Sevilla warned the tech may experience more profound problems, from security breaches to outages—like the one ChatGPT experienced Tuesday—that are associated with a company using tools outside its immediate premises. As more restaurants figure out how to integrate AI into their point of sale, they may look to see how effective Starbucks was in leveraging the tech. 'This is going to be a litmus test for AI integration at this scale,' Sevilla said.
