Trump says US will get magnets and rare earth minerals in China trade deal
President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will get magnets and rare earth minerals from China under a new trade deal and that tariffs on Chinese goods will go to 55%. In return, Mr Trump said the US will provide China 'what was agreed to', including allowing Chinese students to attend American colleges and universities. Several global brands are among dozens of companies at risk of using forced labour through their Chinese supply chains because they use critical minerals or buy minerals-based products sourced from the far-western Xinjiang region of China, an international rights group said on Wednesday. The report by the Netherlands-based Global Rights Compliance says companies including Avon, Walmart, Nescafe, Coca-Cola and paint supplier Sherwin-Williams may be linked to titanium sourced from Xinjiang, where rights groups allege the Chinese government runs coercive labour practices targeting predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities. The report found 77 Chinese suppliers in the titanium, lithium, beryllium and magnesium industries operating in Xinjiang. It said the suppliers are at risk of participating in the Chinese government's 'labour transfer programmes,' in which Uyghurs are forced to work in factories as part of a long-standing campaign of assimilation and mass detention. Commercial paints, thermos cups and components for the aerospace, auto and defence industries are among products sold internationally that can trace their supply chains to minerals from Xinjiang, the report said. It said that companies must review their supply chains. 'Mineral mining and processing in (Xinjiang) rely in part on the state's forced labour programmes for Uyghurs and other Turkic people in the region,' the report said. The report came as China and the United States, the world's two largest economies, said that they have agreed on a framework to get their trade negotiations back on track after a series of disputes that threatened to derail them. The two sides on Tuesday wrapped up two days of talks in London that appeared to focus on finding a way to resolve disputes over mineral and technology exports that had shaken a fragile truce on trade reached in Geneva last month. Asked about the report, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that 'no-one has ever been forcibly transferred in China's Xinjiang under work programmes'. 'The so-called allegation of forced labour in China's Xinjiang region is nothing but a lie concocted by certain anti-China forces. We urge the relevant organisation to stop interfering in China's internal affairs and undermining Xinjiang's prosperity and stability under the guise of human rights,' ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said. The named companies did not immediately comment on the report. A UN report from 2022 found China may have committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, where more than one million Uyghurs are estimated to have been arbitrarily detained as part of measures that the Chinese government said were intended to target terrorism and separatism. The Chinese government has rejected the UN claims and defended its actions in Xinjiang as fighting terror and ensuring stability. In 2021, then-US president Joe Biden signed a law to block imports from the Xinjiang region unless businesses can prove the items were made without forced labour. The law initially targeted solar products, tomatoes, cotton and apparel, but the US government recently added new sectors for enforcement, including aluminium and seafood. Many of China's major minerals corporations have invested in the exploration and mining of lithium, a key component for electric vehicle batteries, in Xinjiang, Global Rights Compliance said. Xinjiang is also China's top source of beryllium, a mineral used for aerospace, defence and telecommunications, its report said. A recent report by the International Energy Agency said that the world's sources of critical minerals are increasingly concentrated in a few countries, notably China, which is also a leading refining and processing base for lithium, cobalt, graphite and other minerals.

Sam's Club makes big change to products as customers switch gears
Walmart's (WMT) Sam's Club has recently resonated well with consumers nationwide, despite growing competition and concerns about inflation and tariffs. In Walmart's first-quarter earnings report for 2025, it revealed that Sam's Club's net sales in the U.S. increased by almost 3% year-over-year, while membership income grew 9.6% due to growth in new members and renewal rates. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Sam's Club foot traffic in its stores even climbed by 2.7% year-over-year during the quarter, according to recent data from Related: Costco quietly limits customer purchases of a beloved product Despite this growth in consumer momentum, Sam's Club still lags behind its competitors as Costco's foot traffic increased by roughly 6% during the quarter, while BJ's spiked by 4%. Amid increased competition and in response to a growing consumer trend, Sam's Club has made a significant change to its food and beverage products. In 2022, the warehouse club pledged to remove certain ingredients that consumers may deem harmful from its Member's Mark food products by the end of 2025, while also focusing on items made through sustainable practices. Some ingredients Sam's Club has been striving to remove include artificial flavors, high-fructose corn syrup, aspartame, phthalates, and synthetic colors. "The Sam's Club member is at the center of everything we do, so as we continue to evolve the Member's Mark brand, we intend to develop items that are reflective of the ingredients, processes, and materials they want – and don't want – in their products," said Prathibha Rajashekhar, senior vice president of private brands and sourcing at Sam's Club, in a 2022 press release. Related: BJ's CEO warns customers of a harsh new reality in stores Now, so far in 2025,, Sam's Club claims it has banned 40 ingredients from 96% of its Member's Mark food and beverage products, and it plans to ban them from all products in this category by the end of the year, according to a recent press release. Sam's Club also said that it recently surveyed its members and found that 72% are "actively seeking minimally processed foods," while 90% said that they "either live or aspire to live a healthier lifestyle." "We take pride in the high-quality ingredients that go into our products, but what truly differentiates us are the ingredients we consciously leave out," said Sam's Club Chief Merchant Julie Barber in the release. The move from Sam's Club comes during a time when Americans across the country are increasingly becoming more health-conscious, a trend that skyrocketed after the Covid-19 pandemic. A recent survey by the International Food Information Council found that 79% of Americans said that they consider whether a food product is processed when deciding to purchase it. For example, seed oils - including canola, sunflower, and palm - have recently drawn scrutiny from consumers for contributing to inflammation in the body. The trend has pushed fast-food chain Steak n' Shake to remove these oils from its food.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services, has even vowed to ban artificial dyes from all U.S. food products by the end of the year. "For too long, some food producers have been feeding Americans petroleum-based chemicals without their knowledge or consent," said Kennedy in an April press release. "These poisonous compounds offer no nutritional benefit and pose real, measurable dangers to our children's health and development. That era is coming to an end." During an earnings call in February, PepsiCo CEO Ramon Laguarta said there has been a "higher level of awareness" among American consumers about health and wellness, which is impacting sales. "We're seeing more conversation in social media about health and wellness, in general, and obviously, that's impacting consumption of food and consumption of beverages," said Laguarta. Even Kellogg CEO Gary Pilnick warned investors in May that the company's cereal category faced declining sales as consumers increasingly lean more towards new brands that focus more on health and nutrition.

Logistics GDP share rose in '24, not likely to drop: CSCMP report
New York–Spending in the U.S. on logistics rose in both absolute dollar terms and as a percentage of GDP, and it isn't likely to go down anytime soon. That was one of the primary conclusions of the annual logistics report released last week by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) at a media briefing in New York. This year's report was entitled 'Navigating Through the Fog.' Kevin Smith, the moderator of the panel and the president and CEO of Sustainable Supply Chain Consulting, joked about the title and the logistics environment. 'This should be an easy session today,' he said. 'Not much has changed.' The first part of the presentation was led by Korhan Acar, a partner at Kearney, the global management consulting firm that produced the report in conjunction with the CSCMP. Acar, referring to the title of the report, said 'I don't think it requires any explanation why we call it that, coming out of recent uncertainty.' The CSCMP report puts an estimate on what it calls total U.S. business logistics costs (USBLC). The increase last year was $133 billion, a jump of 5.4%, to $2.58 trillion, up from $2.447 trillion the prior year. The decrease from 2022 to 2023 was 8.3%. Despite that, the five year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in total USBLC is 8%. Acar said outlays for logistics in the U.S. last year were about 8.8% of nominal GDP. With that number having fluctuated mostly in about the 7.4% to 8% range through most of the post-COVID period, and now having reached 8.8%, Acar said 'we have started to stabilize.' But the base percentage of logistics spending as a percentage of GDP is stabilizing at a higher level than what was seen pre-COVID. 'If a higher basis forms, what this really means is that logistics costs have been increasing as a percentage of GDP,' Acar said. 'They're going to be a little bit more prominent and pronounced in the profit and loss statements of companies.' There could be a retraction back to pre-COVID levels, Acar said. But that is not likely given various trends. One of those trends is what Acar referred to as 'China plus one, China plus two,' which is an 'elongation of supply chains' where a company expands its base of suppliers beyond a total or near-total reliance on China and goes to one or two other suppliers. Given that sort of philosophical change, as well as a long list of other disruptions like Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, 'cost and logistics are not seeing any kind of downward pressure,' Acar said. 'So we do expect that to remain at an escalated baseline for next year as well.' The CSCMP report calculates the USBLC as the total of various segment expenditures as well as other activities, such as inventories. The biggest contributor to the increase in the total figure last year was the cost of water transportation, up 93.1% to $161.6 billion. That's an increase of $77.9 billion. And that means that increased waterborne logistics costs accounted for more than 58% of the total increase last year. Acar said increased costs related to restricted traffic through the Red Sea and Suez Canal due to Houthi attacks was the primary driver of that trend. But for total expenditures, motor carriers are at the top of the list. The USBLC compiled by the report's authors said full truckload transportation costs fell to $387 billion in 2024 from $408.7 billion a year earlier. In the bull truckload market of 2022, the spend total was $490 billion, so that the full truckload spend in 2024 was down more than $100 billion in just two years. LTL spend, according to the report, is remarkably stable: $66 billion in 2022, $66 billion last year, $64 billion in between. Widespread talk in the trucking sector that there has been a growing shift to private or dedicated fleets did show up in the CSCMP report. It said the category that CSCMP calls private or dedicated motor carrier spending was $541.4 billion last year. That was up from $528.4 billion a year earlier, and way up from $461.7 billion in 2022. The compound annual growth rate in the last five years for the category is 12.3%. In the report's summary for the 2025 outlook for motor carriers, the CSCMP report did a quick summary of 2024–'spot and contract rates for full truckload shipments modestly declined throughout the year'–but pivoted to talk about the 2025 outlook which is 'now clouded by escalating global geopolitical tensions.' 'For US carriers, tariffs may introduce new financial pressures that, combined with potential declines in freight volume, will continue to squeeze carrier margins,' the report said. 'As the market moves deeper into 2025, the trucking industry finds itself suspended in midair, waiting to see how these complex forces will unfold.' The report ticked off the potential impact on trucking from tariffs, most of which have been discussed extensively for many months, before and after 'Liberation Day.' Higher tariffs on trucks coming out of Mexico and Canada 'could drive up equipment costs and load to shortages,' the report said. Acar cited ATA warnings that a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico could add $35,000 to the cost of a new truck. An S&P Global Mobility report said a 9% increase in new truck prices could slice demand for new vehicles by 17%. Cutting back new truck purchases in favor of extending the life of an existing fleet could lead to higher maintenance costs. The end result, according to the CSCMP report: 'this situation could both accelerate the exit of existing carriers and discourage new entrants, resulting in a slower pace of fleet expansion.' Acar reviewed data from Morgan Stanley on contract and spot rates. He said based on conversations with shippers, it was unlikely contract rates would fall below the $2 per mile mark. 'For the majority of the shippers I know, pushing carriers to below the $2 mark is not going to be healthy, and it's going to start to cause some performance issues,' he said. 'That's why I think contract rates stay somewhere relatively over that $2 mark.' The presentation was followed by a panel discussion that included Paul Bingham, director of transportation consulting at S&P Global Market Intelligence (NYSE: SPGI); Andy Moses, senior vice president of solutions and sales strategies at Penske Logistics; Brendan Dillon, senior vice president of global inventory management, transportation and trade, at Target (NYSE: TGT); and Dr. Noel Hacegaba, chief operating officer at the Port of Long Beach (who spoke to FreightWaves on a separate topic after the presentation). In other notable findings in the report: RAIL: The growth of rail is hindered by inadequate transloading capacity and operators. The facilities, the CSCMP report said, 'is fragmented and underdeveloped, primarily operated by third-party providers that lack access to sufficient capital, and railroads are not incentivized to operate transloading facilities directly because doing so will undermine operating ratio.' But that underinvestment, the report said, leaves shippers with no choice but to turn to trucks, 'which erodes railroad revenues, drives up costs for shippers, increases road congestion and exacerbates environmental impacts.' 3PLs: 3PLs increasingly need to become 4PLs, the CSCMP report said. The cost-plus model won't work today, according to the report, and 3PLs must provide 'alternative routings…and more agile systems.' They also need to be able to provide 'multiple service options for contingency planning.' That may involve moving deeper into last mile capabilities, the report said.
