How South Korea's K-beauty industry is being hit by Trump tariffs
Cars and smartphones may rank among South Korea's biggest exports to the US, but few goods inspire a more devoted following than the Asian country's beauty products. K-beauty - a term that covers a wide range of skincare, makeup and cosmetics from South Korea - is lauded for its quality and value, driving soaring demand in recent years. The global appeal of South Korean culture has also helped propel the popularity of its cosmetics. US-based Pearl Mak tells the BBC that she was introduced to K-beauty products by her friends. South Korean serums are better-suited for her skin compared to some Western brands that tend to be more harsh, the 27-year-old graphic designer says. Now "95% of my skincare is made up of K-beauty products", she adds. Ms Mak is not alone in her preference for South Korean skincare brands. Americans spent as much $1.7bn (£1.3bn) on K-beauty products in 2024, according to industry estimates. That marks a more than 50% rise compared to the previous year. K-beauty products are often more attractively priced than their Western counterparts - but also feature ingredients that are not as commonly found in the West - from heartleaf to snail mucin. US President Donald Trump has now imposed a 15% import tax on South Korean goods traded between Seoul and Washington. It's less than the 25% levy that Trump had threatened, but many consumers are not taking any chances. The rise of Korean make-up in the West 'Flowerboys' and the appeal of 'soft masculinity' US K-beauty retailer Santé Brand saw orders spike by nearly 30% in April, right after Trump unveiled sweeping US import taxes on most of the world. "When the tariff announcements hit, customers got strategic with how they were going to weather the storm," Santé Brand's founder Cheyenne Ware told the BBC. "Consumers are preparing against the uncertainty." Another K-beauty retailer, Senti Senti, has been ordering more products since Trump started his tariff threats, says manager Winnie Zhong. This week, she received alerts from suppliers urging retailers to "stock up before tariffs". Both retailers said prices of K-beauty products are likely to increase as the levies push up costs across the industry. "Anyone telling you prices will stay flat through the next two years is naive," says Ms Ware. Prices are bound to rise, especially for smaller sellers of beauty products on platforms like Amazon, who operate with slim profit margins, economist Munseob Lee from the University of California San Diego says. Despite higher prices, the global popularity of South Korean culture means K-beauty products are likely to remain in demand in the US, he says. "Casual buyers might be turned off by the higher price, but fans won't find an easy substitute." Ms Zhong agrees. She thinks customers will still want to buy K-beauty products but price rises may mean they purchase fewer items than before. Higher prices are unlikely to stop Ms Mak buying her favourite products. "It depends on how much the price shoots up, but as of now, I am willing to pay more to purchase the same products," she says. 'No easy substitute' Big K-beauty brands are in a much better position to absorb the cost of tariffs than their smaller rivals, says South Korea-based business consultant Eyal Victor Mamou. These larger companies will be able to avoid major price rises for their customers as they have higher profit margins, he says. But smaller K-beauty firms that make their products in South Korea will struggle to keep a lid on costs, Mr Mamou adds. "It will take some time to take effect since most goods being sold in the short-run have already been commissioned at current prices, but we'll see it play out soon." In recent days, President Trump has struck deals with Japan and the European Union that will see their exports to the US subject to the same 15% tariffs as South Korea. That means countries that are home to some of the world's biggest cosmetics brands face the same levies as the K-beauty industry. Central to Trump's trade policies is his ambition to see more goods being made in America. But it's yet to be seen whether or not this will mean US buyers switch to American beauty products. Ms Mak says she doesn't see US-made products as attractive alternatives. "I do search for American-made alternatives often, but I have yet to find any that are as effective as the ones I use. So I wouldn't go for American products yet."

Delta Air Lines assures U.S. lawmakers it will not personalize fares using AI
WASHINGTON - Delta Air Lines said on Friday it will not use artificial intelligence to set personalized ticket prices for passengers after facing sharp criticism from U.S. lawmakers and broad public concern. Last week, Democratic Senators Ruben Gallego, Mark Warner and Richard Blumenthal said they believed the Atlanta-based airline would use AI to set individual prices, which would 'likely mean fare price increases up to each individual consumer's personal 'pain point.'' Delta said it has not used AI to set personalized prices but previously said it plans to deploy AI-based revenue management technology across 20% of its domestic network by the end of 2025 in partnership with Fetcherr, an AI pricing company. 'There is no fare product Delta has ever used, is testing or plans to use that targets customers with individualized prices based on personal data,' Delta told the senators in a letter on Friday, seen by Reuters. 'Our ticket pricing never takes into account personal data.' Senators praised Delta's commitment not to use AI for personal pricing but expressed many questions and want more details about what data Delta is collecting to set prices. 'Delta is telling their investors one thing, and then turning around and telling the public another,' Gallego said. 'If Delta is in fact using aggregated instead of individualized data, that is welcome news.' Delta declined comment on Gallego's statement. The senators cited a comment in December by Delta President Glen Hauenstein that the carrier's AI price-setting technology is capable of setting fares based on a prediction of 'the amount people are willing to pay for the premium products related to the base fares.' Last week, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said using AI to set ticket prices could hurt consumer trust. 'This is not about bait and switch. This is not about tricking,' Isom said on an earnings call, adding 'talk about using AI in that way, I don't think it's appropriate. And certainly from American, it's not something we will do.' Democratic lawmakers Greg Casar and Rashida Tlaib last week introduced legislation to bar companies from using AI to set prices or wages based on Americans' personal data and would specifically ban airlines raising individual prices after seeing a search for a family obituary. They cited a Federal Trade Commission staff report in January that found 'retailers frequently use people's personal information to set targeted, tailored prices for goods and services -- from a person's location and demographics, down to their mouse movements on a webpage.' The FTC cited a hypothetical example of a consumer profiled as a new parent who could intentionally be shown higher-priced baby thermometers and collect behavioral details to forecast a customer's state of mind. Delta said airlines have used dynamic pricing for more than three decades, in which pricing fluctuates based on a variety of factors like overall customer demand, fuel prices and competition, but not a specific consumer's personal information. 'Given the tens of millions of fares and hundreds of thousands of routes for sale at any given time, the use of new technology like AI promises to streamline the process by which we analyze existing data and the speed and scale at which we can respond to changing market dynamics,' Delta's letter said.

Trump admin: Social Security policy set for mid-August now optional
(NewsNation) — The Trump administration has clarified that a change to the Social Security Administration's phone policy is optional. The new policy, which had a start date of Aug. 18, would have required millions of Social Security recipients to travel to field offices for routine account updates and have to go online to get a security authentication PIN. AARP sent a letter to SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano on Tuesday, saying that the change would create an obstacle for seniors, people with disabilities and those who lack access to a computer or internet. About 3.4 million more people would have been forced to go to a field office, which has recently seen staffing cuts. 85% of parents worry about tariffs affecting back-to-school cost: Survey The SSA later said that any Social Security beneficiaries and account holders aren't required to visit a field office if they choose not to use the authentication PIN, according to Axios. Some Social Security offices had plans to close this year due to federal spending cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). SSA later said the offices would not close permanently, but only from a 'time to time basis' due to weather, damage or 'facilities issues.' More than 68 million people throughout the U.S. receive Social Security benefits, and more people are starting to rely heavily on the monthly payments. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
