How Trump's trade tariffs could affect the cost of coffee in the US – visualized
The United States is the largest importer of coffee in the world, and its biggest supplier is Brazil.

Here's a look at the value of the coffee trade, US coffee-drinking habits and why your cup of coffee could be more expensive very soon, if Trump goes ahead with his latest tariff plan.

Southwest announces when passengers can book assigned seats
Southwest Airline's open seating policy is coming in for its final approach. The Texas-based carrier said Monday that flights with assigned seats will begin on Jan. 27, 2026, marking the end of an era in which the discount carrier for decades bucked industry norms by having passengers choose their seats during boarding. Southwest, which announced last year that it was abandoning open seating, said customers can start booking flights with assigned seats for 2026 starting on July 29. "Assigned seating unlocks new opportunities for our Customers — including the ability to select Extra Legroom seats — and removes the uncertainty of not knowing where they will sit in the cabin," Tony Roach, executive vice president of customer & brand at Southwest Airlines, said in a statement. The new policy will allow travelers to choose from different fare bundles and seat options, including those offering more legroom. A Southwest spokesperson said the airline is unable for now to offer details on how its fares will change under the new reservation system. The airline also recently did away with its "bags fly free" policy, signaling a broader shift in its revenue strategy amid mounting financial pressure. People who book flights on or after May 28 ust pay $35 for the first checked bag and $45 for the second. Southwest also announced on Monday that it is overhauling its boarding process. The new boarding sequence will group passengers based on seat location, with priority given to people who choose seats with extra legroom and to loyalty program members. Southwest customers can also pay for priority boarding if they want to move up in the queue. While Southwest passengers are currently assigned a group letter (A-C) and number, they will now be assigned a group number, 1-8. The new approach is intended to "deliver a smooth and efficient Customer Experience on every flight," Southwest said.

Pepsi introduces prebiotic cola months after Poppi acquisition
PepsiCo on Monday announced that it will launch a prebiotic cola under its namesake soda brand, starting this fall. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola comes just four months after the beverage giant announced its $1.95 billion acquisition of upstart Poppi. Soda consumption has broadly fallen over the past two decades in the U.S. But prebiotic sodas, fueled by Poppi and fellow newcomer Olipop, have won over health-conscious consumers over the past five years with their gut-health claims. The acquisition closed in May. Prior to the deal, Pepsi had reportedly aimed to launch its own functional soda under its Soulboost brand, but canceled those plans. As demand for its drinks falls domestically, Pepsi is leaning into health trends like the protein and fiber crazes to attract customers. In the second quarter, the company's North American beverage volume shrank 2%. Its namesake soda was one of the few bright spots, helped by the success of Pepsi Zero Sugar. Consumers will be able to buy Pepsi Prebiotic Cola online starting in the fall and in retailers next year. The new drink contains three grams of prebiotic fiber — one gram more than Poppi's soda, but only a third as much as Olipop's fiber content. The new Pepsi beverage also contains five grams of cane sugar. In the U.S., classic Pepsi is sweetened with corn syrup. Artificial sweeteners and high-fructose corn syrup have come under fire from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his "Make America Healthy Again" agenda. President Donald Trump, a longtime fan of aspartame-sweetened Diet Coke, claimed in a social media post on Wednesday that Coca-Cola has agreed to put "REAL Cane Sugar" back in its namesake soda, which contains corn syrup in the U.S. The company has not confirmed the announcement. For its part, Coke introduced its Simply Pop prebiotic soda brand in February to consumers on the West Coast and in the Southeast, just weeks before Pepsi announced the Poppi deal. Executives could share mroe updates on the line's performance during Coke's earnings conference call on Tuesday morning.
