US, Mexico near deal to cut steel duties and cap imports
The U.S. and Mexico are closing in on a deal that would remove President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on steel imports up to a certain volume, according to people familiar with the matter, a revamp of a similar deal between the trade partners during his first term. Trump hasn't been directly involved in the negotiations and would need to sign off on any deal. The talks are being led by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to the people, who asked not to be identified as the discussions are private. The people said the agreement hasn't been finalized. Under its current terms, it would allow U.S. buyers to import Mexican steel duty-free as long as they kept total shipments below a level based on historical trade volumes, according to the people. The new cap would be higher than what was allowed under a similar deal during Trump's first term, they said, which was never a fixed figure but designed to "prevent surges." The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's office also didn't respond to a request for comment. U.S. steel stocks moved lower in late trading after Bloomberg's report. Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. dropped more than 7%, and Nucor Corp. fell more than 4%. The Mexican peso trimmed losses. At an event on Tuesday, Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said he told U.S. officials in meetings last week that steel tariffs are not justified in Mexico's case because the U.S. sends more steel to Mexico than vice versa. Last Friday, he posted a picture that showed him shaking hands with a smiling Lutnick in Washington. "We are waiting for their response, because on Friday we gave them the details of Mexico's argument and we are right," Ebrard told reporters Tuesday. "So we are going to wait for their response which will probably be this very week." Trump last week announced he would double steel duties to 50% after saying he would approve the purchase of United States Steel Corp. by Japan's Nippon Steel Corp., a move he said would protect the domestic industry and national security. While domestic steelmakers welcome the move, end-users have urged the administration to ease the tariffs. The negotiations come as Sheinbaum seeks an accommodation with Trump over immigration and drug trafficking across their shared border, which the U.S. leader has demanded Mexico halt. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Sheinbaum Tuesday of "encouraging" more anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles, where the U.S. has deployed troops. Sheinbaum has called Noem's claim "absolutely false." The talks also come ahead of a Group of Seven leaders summit in Canada, where the two presidents are likely to meet. U.S. steel imports from Mexico totaled about 3.2 million metric tons last year, accounting for 12% of total shipments of the material according to Commerce Department data. A previous deal the U.S. reached with Mexico in 2019, during Trump's first term, agreed to prevent import volumes that exceeded average levels for the 2015-2017 period. -With assistance from Josh Wingrove and Alex Vasquez.

Reddy launches the #1 simulation training platform at CCW Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reddy, the AI coaching platform redefining how customer experience (CX) teams train and develop their agents, today announced the launch of their Reddy 2.0 at Customer Contact Week (CCW) Las Vegas. This marks Reddy's second year of sponsoring at the world's largest CX event, and the most advanced set of features ever released for simulation training across the industry. Reddy 2.0 introduces a major leap forward in enterprise training with fully automated simulation creation, enhanced cross-functional collaboration tools for L&D and QA teams, further security and compliance certifications, and a brand refresh that embodies the platform's vision: transforming customer service agents into high-performing all-stars. Agent Training in the AI Era While much of the industry has rushed toward automation, research has raised caution. A Salesforce study released this week found that AI automation of customer service drops to just a 35% success on any interactions that require more than one step to resolve. This comes on the heels of Klarna's recent announcement that their pivot to full AI automation needed to be scaled back in order to restore human agents to their support model. While working on solving the long-term challenge of creating the complex, multi-turn AI agents of tomorrow, Reddy has bridged the gap with automation of training for better human agents today. In conjunction with the launch of their new features, Reddy also today signed their largest partner to date with over 2K global agents, after having validated gains in new hire performance during an initial piloting period that resulted in a 38x return on investment. Reddy 2.0 Launch Reddy's new features and branding are all designed around connecting various teams within enterprise CX organizations, allowing them to work together more easily to create the highest impact training programs for agents. Automated Simulation Authoring – L&D teams can now generate tailored simulations entirely using AI, with the ability to drop in existing materials to create realistic sandboxes of their complex interactions and systems. Changes to training programs and SOPs can now take instant effect inside of simulations, with the ability to test, version and publish across large content teams. Enterprise Collaboration Suite – Reddy has developed custom-built Learning Management, Knowledge Base and Project Management Systems that all reside inside of the platform and integrate with other common tools. This allows teams to consolidate information and updates in one streamlined workflow, ensuring that agents are always armed with the most up-to-date processes and materials. AI Privacy and Security – This week, Reddy received their SOC 2 Type 2 certification to go along with their HIPAA certification and PCI compliance. Reddy prides itself on the ability to pair software with change management, and in working closely together with Infosec and Procurement teams to navigate evolving policies around Generative AI. "Reddy brings together every team inside the contact center — from L&D to QA to team leads — making it easier than ever to turn agents into all-stars," said Adam Levin, Reddy's CEO and Co-Founder. "Our new design represents those connections, with a dynamic arrow-based system symbolizing the connections we create inside of one platform, and the forward momentum that Reddy helps agents achieve. They're handling more calls with confidence, resolving complex issues at a higher rate, and delivering happier customers for the brand."
