US toy retailers grapple with effects of trump's tariffs
US toy retailers are facing mounting challenges as the trade tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump continue to squeeze margins and complicate sourcing strategies. With nearly 80% of toys sold in the United States produced in China, many businesses are reporting delayed shipments, rising costs and even legal action—all as hopes hinge on the expiry of a temporary tariff pause in early July. Retailers are contending with a web of overlapping tariffs on Chinese imports, where duty rates now stack as high as 145% in some cases—far above the 30% headline figure quoted by officials. Smaller toy importers are disproportionately affected, with many forced to increase prices or eat some of the added costs to stay afloat. Alignable reports that over 57% of small retailers expect revenue losses due to this uncertainty. The combination of high tariffs and shifting trade policy has caused substantial supply chain delays. Companies such as Basic Fun! rushed to forward-ship container loads while the tariffs were temporarily reduced from 145% to 30%—an effort that offered short-term relief but failed to eliminate ongoing uncertainty. Multiple firms have also started cutting orders or narrowing their product lines in anticipation of possible disruptions, especially during crucial retail periods like the lead-up to Christmas. Several toymakers have taken legal action against the administration. Learning Resources, an Illinois-based educational toy producer with around 500 employees, has sued the federal government, arguing Trump exceeded his authority under IEEPA in imposing steep tariffs. St Paul's Mischief Toy Store has joined similar litigation claiming the 145% levy is unconstitutional. These challenges follow broader legal rulings, such as a Federal Trade Court decision in late May blocking the so-called 'Liberation Day' tariffs under IEEPA—though that ruling remains stayed during appeal. Meanwhile, larger toy manufacturers are proactively shifting production to countries like Vietnam, India and Indonesia. Major brands such as Mattel, Hasbro and MGA Entertainment have accelerated their transition away from China—MGA, for instance, plans to boost output from alternate sites from around 15% to 40% in the next six months. The current 90-day tariff reduction is set to expire in early July, re-establishing uncertainty for importers who must rapidly adapt or lock in alternative supply chains. Analysts warn that sustained high duties may lead to permanent business closures in the SME sector, reduced innovation capacity and higher prices at the checkout for consumers—especially families with school-age children. With courts mulling the legality of the tariffs and retailers racing to diversify their sourcing, the US toy industry remains on edge. Any extension or change in tariff policy could determine whether small toymakers and independent stores survive the current economic squeeze—or succumb to rising costs and regulatory the shifting tariff landscape with real-time data and market-leading analysis.

Florida lawmakers pass charter school expansion on last day of session
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — On the 105th day of what was supposed to be a 60-day legislative session, Florida lawmakers passed a bill to allow charter schools to 'co-locate' inside traditional public schools. It's the latest move by the Republican-controlled Legislature to expand school choice in a state that has long been a national model for conservative education policy. The measure to expand what are known as 'schools of hope' faced fierce pushback from Democratic lawmakers and public school advocates, and the proposal appeared to die on what was supposed to be the last day of the regularly scheduled session in May. But as budget talks stretched into the summer, lawmakers resurrected the measure and slipped it into the budget package, sidestepping the normal vetting process for legislation. Lawmakers gave the bill final approval after 10 p.m. on Monday, with just a handful of members of the public present in the chamber galleries. Among the groups that lobbied for the measure was Citadel Enterprise Americas, the investment firm launched by Miami-based hedge fund billionaire and Republican megadonor Ken Griffin, who has given millions to education efforts, including charter schools. The bill, which now heads to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' desk, will allow more charter school operators to open schools of hope, and to operate out of under-enrolled public schools rent-free. State lawmakers created the program in 2017 to encourage more publicly funded, privately run schools to open in areas where traditional public schools had been failing for years, giving students and families in those neighborhoods a way to bail out of a persistently struggling school. 'We're seeing a lot of vacant and underused buildings paid for by our taxpayer dollars,' said Republican state Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka. 'We have operators that want to come in and give the best education to those who are in schools that haven't been getting the greatest education,' she added, saying, 'let's give them the opportunity.' Charter schools are often linked to for-profit business interests. For years, the Florida Legislature has expanded the school choice landscape, which some lawmakers and their families have financial ties to. With the bill, lawmakers also are redefining which schools can be considered academically struggling, which will "greatly increase the number of schools being designated as persistently low performing schools,' according to a legislative staff analysis of an early version of the measure. The bill loosens restrictions on where schools of hope can operate, allowing them to open within the walls of a public school — even a high-performing one — if the campus has underused or vacant facilities. That provision alarmed Democratic lawmakers at a time when public districts large and small are seeing their enrollments decline as more Florida families choose charters, private schools or homeschool options. 'It changes everything in the state for traditional public schools,' Democratic state Rep. Robin Bartleman said. 'Why are you messing with schools that are working?' she asked her Republican colleagues. 'This is a sin.' Florida's measure also gives charter school operators a way to bypass local school districts, allowing them to submit an application to open a school to a public college or university, many of which are now led by former Republican lawmakers. This year, Tennessee's Republican-dominated Statehouse signed off on their own bypass bill, allowing charter school hopefuls to directly apply to a state commission if a local school board repeatedly denies an application within three years. Republican leaders there have long seen many local school boards as hostile to potential charter school operators, resulting in a steady push to find ways for operators to apply to the state. In recent years, Florida lawmakers have made it easier than ever for families to leave public schools after expanding the state's voucher program to allow all K-12 students to qualify for taxpayer funded scholarships, regardless of household income. ___ Associated Press writer Kimberlee Kruesi contributed reporting from Providence, Rhode Island.

Trump set to grant another extension to avoid TikTok disruption
President Donald Trump will extend a deadline for the owner of social media platform TikTok to find a U.S. buyer so that it can remain operating in the country, the White House said Tuesday. Trump plans to sign an executive order this week that will keep the platform, which has about 170 million U.S. users, running despite a bipartisan law banning it over national security concerns. The 2024 law requires the app's Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell it to a non-Chinese buyer or face a nationwide prohibition. "As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Tuesday. The order will give ByteDance three more months to comply with the law, which was upheld early this year by the Supreme Court. "This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure," Leavitt said. During his first term, Trump banned TikTok by executive order, arguing it was a potential tool of a foreign adversary, China. Courts thwarted that ban. The law was passed last year and was set to take effect as Trump began his second presidential term. The video-sharing app briefly went dark in the United States just ahead of Trump's second inauguration, but service was restored after he signaled he would act. Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office postponing the TikTok ban for 75 days, giving its owner until April 5 to find a U.S. buyer. In March, Vice President JD Vance expressed confidence in a deadline-beating deal, saying, 'There will almost certainly be a high-level agreement.' With no buyer apparent in April, the president extended the deadline until Thursday. Earlier Tuesday, the president said that any divestiture deal would "probably have to get China approval, but I think we'll get it. I think President Xi will ultimately approve it." Trump joined the platform as a user a little over a year ago. This article was originally published on
