I browsed thousands of Amazon deals: These are the best sales to shop this week
Here's some perspective: Human beings (aka homo sapiens) have been around for about 300,000 years; that's 109,500,000 days. The life expectancy of the average American is 79.4 years or 28,981 days. That means, mathematically speaking, relative to the length of a 24-hour day measuring our species' existence, you spend about 23 seconds walking this earth. All of which is to say: You're not gonna be around that long — and January's almost over already! Have you even begun to get geared up for all those 2025 initiatives you'd imagined? Not to worry: The best Amazon deals this week are here to help.

China's exports climb 4.8% in May as shipments to the US fall nearly 10%
China's exports rose 4.8% in May from a year earlier, a bit lower than expected, as shipments to the United States fell nearly 10%, according to data released Monday just hours ahead of another round of trade talks between the U.S. and China. Imports declined 3.4% year-on-year, leaving a trade surplus of $103.2 billion. China exported $28.8 billion to the United States in May, while its imports from the U.S. fell 7.4% to $10.8 billion, the report said. Still, exports to Southeast Asia and the European Union remained robust, growing 14.8% and 12%, year-on-year. 'The acceleration of exports to other economies has helped China's exports remain relatively buoyant in the face of the trade war,' Lynne Song of ING Economics said in a commentary. Still, trade slowed in May from an 8.1% jump in China's global exports in April. Many businesses had rushed orders to try to beat higher tariffs, even as some new import duties took effect or remained in place. Exports will likely rebound somewhat in June thanks to a 90-day suspension of most of the tariffs China and the U.S. imposed on each other in their escalating trade war. 'But with tariffs likely to remain elevated and Chinese manufacturers facing broader constraints on their ability to sustain rapid gains in global market share, we think export growth will slow further by year-end,' Zichun Huang of Capital Economics said in a report. Despite the tariffs truce, the rancor between Beijing and Washington has persisted, with angry exchanges over advanced semiconductors, 'rare earths' that are vital to many industries and visas for Chinese students at American universities. The next round of negotiations was due to take place later Monday in London, following a phone call last week between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Other data released Monday highlight the pressure on the world's second largest economy from slowing exports, since China imports many of the components and materials needed for the goods it assembles for the world. But at the same time, China's own domestic markets are suffering. The government reported that consumer prices fell 0.1% in May, evidence of sluggish demand. The persisting deflation partly reflects lower food prices, economists said. Producer price deflation was worse, contracting 3.3% in May, its lowest level in almost two years, after falling 2.7% in April.

‘60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley warns a CBS settlement with Trump would be ‘very damaging'
'60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley spoke out about President Donald Trump's lawsuit against CBS and its parent company on Saturday, arguing that a settlement would be 'very damaging.' 'Well, it'd be very damaging to CBS, to Paramount, to the reputation of those companies,' Pelley said during a conversation with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Saturday, who asked how harmful a settlement and potential apology would be to the network. Trump filed a lawsuit against Paramount Global, CBS News' parent company, over a '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in October 2024. Fox News Digital confirmed that Trump rejected a $15 million offer to settle his lawsuit, according to a source familiar with the matter, as the president's legal team is also demanding at least $25 million and an apology from CBS News. Cooper, who is also a correspondent on '60 Minutes,' also asked Pelley about former show producer Bill Owens resigning from the program in April. 'Bill's decision to resign may not have been much of a decision for him because he was always the first person to defend the independence of '60 minutes.' Bill didn't work for Paramount. Bill worked for our viewers, and he felt very keenly about that. And so I'm not sure Bill had any choice, once the corporation began to meddle in Bill's decisions about the editorial content, or just place pressure in that area, Bill felt that he didn't have the independence that honest journalism requires,' Pelley said. 4 Scott Pelley warned that a settlement between President Trump and CBS would be 'very damaging.' 4 President Trump rejected a $15 million offer to settle his lawsuit, according to Fox News Digital. AP Pelley also said he wished he had the public backing of CBS News, but added that his work was still making it onto the program. 'You really wish the company was behind you 100%, right? You really wish the top echelons of the company would come out publicly and say '60 Minutes', for example, is a crown jewel of American journalism, and we stand behind it 100%. I haven't heard that. On the other hand, my work is getting on the air, and I have not had anyone outside '60 Minutes' put their thumb on the scale and say, 'you can't say that. You should say this. You have to edit the story in this way. You should interview this person.' None of that has happened. So while I would like to have that public backing, maybe the more important thing is the work is still getting on the air,' Pelley said. 4 The Federal Communications Commission accused '60 Minutes' of heavily editing an interview with Kamala Harris in 2024. 60 Minutes / CBS 4 Former show producer Bill Owens resigned from the program in April. The '60 Minutes' correspondent recently went viral for calling out Trump during a commencement address. 'In this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack,' Pelley said during his commencement speech at Wake Forest University. 'And insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes and into our private thoughts, the fear to speak in America. If our government is, in Lincoln's phrase, 'Of the people, by the people, for the people,' then why are we afraid to speak?' Pelley addressed the remarks during the CNN interview and told Cooper that he felt 'strongly' it needed to be said. 'I don't refer to him or the president or the White House or the administration. But I was talking about actions that have been taken by the government over these last many months. But, there was a little bit of hysteria among some about this speech, and I simply ask you, what does it say about our country when there's hysteria about a speech that's about freedom of speech?' the CBS correspondent added.

Amazon and US rivals navigate volatile tariff landscape
The upcoming Amazon Prime Day 2025 arrives the United States amid widespread concern over shifting US-China trade policies, with tariff uncertainty casting a shadow over pricing, supply chains and sales strategies. Despite a temporary reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports, many e-commerce sellers and retail giants such as Amazon, Walmart and Target remain cautious ahead of one of the year's biggest online shopping events. Retail executives have repeatedly flagged the volatile tariff landscape as a top risk for their operations. Amazon's CFO Brian Olsavsky said the company's latest forecast reflects 'the general uncertainty' in global trade. His comments echoed warnings from Walmart and Best Buy leaders, who cited unpredictability around tariff levels and timing as a challenge for strategic planning. The U.S.-China tariff standoff had reached a peak earlier this year when import duties on Chinese goods soared to 145%. That prompted some brands to consider scaling back participation in Prime Day. A late-May agreement reduced those tariffs to 30%, offering temporary relief. Still, concerns remain as the legal status of tariffs continues to fluctuate, with pending court rulings expected to shape the near-term trade environment. Pattern, a commerce accelerator that works with brands across online marketplaces, reported scrambling to restock U.S. inventories after the tariff rollback. 'We were on the precipice,' said Brett Bardsley, the company's Chief International Officer, describing how airfreight and expedited shipping were used to fill gaps caused by earlier trade disruptions. For many sellers, Prime Day remains a high-stakes opportunity. More than 80% of Amazon Prime members surveyed in May indicated they plan to shop during the event—up from 68% in 2024—according to Tinuiti. Amazon is expected to stretch the sale across four days, doubling last year's duration. Still, not all brands are equally positioned. Companies heavily reliant on Chinese manufacturing are weighing whether they can offer competitive discounts while absorbing a 30% tariff. Others, like Flaus, a maker of electric flossers, say the lowered tariffs cleared the way for full Prime Day participation without raising prices—for now. Amazon has said it is pleased with the response from selling partners and is working to help them adapt. But categories like electronics, which have tighter margins and higher exposure to Chinese sourcing, may proceed cautiously. Shares in Amazon rebounded sharply in May after the tariff deal, gaining 11% for the month. That followed months of volatility tied to trade developments and investor concerns about rising costs and consumer demand. The stock remains just below a key technical buy point as of early June. While Amazon's e-commerce platform has not seen a significant rise in average selling prices, other retailers are less optimistic. Walmart's CFO John David Rainey recently warned that tariffs remain 'too high,' suggesting that shoppers could see price increases in the months ahead. The Trump administration, however, has pushed back against such claims, arguing that the current tariff policy is manageable for most businesses. Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy maintains that the company is well-positioned to gain market share during uncertain periods, citing its performance during past disruptions. Analysts say that while summer sales could see a lift from the tariff reprieve, the broader retail sector must still contend with unresolved trade tensions, inflationary pressure and shifting consumer sentiment. As the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on the legality of current tariffs, industry watchers say retail strategies for the rest of 2025 will likely hinge on how trade policies evolve—and whether businesses can continue to absorb new costs without passing them on to consumers.
