AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Trade Court Ruling: The U.S. Court of International Trade struck down Trump’s new 10% global tariffs, saying the White House exceeded its legal authority under the 1974 Trade Act—another setback for the administration’s trade push. Labor Market Pressure: Even with low unemployment and growing GDP, job seekers say hiring has stalled in a way economists can’t quite explain, leaving new grads and laid-off workers stuck in limbo. Amazon Speed Race: Amazon is rolling out 30-minute delivery options for an extra fee, testing “mini” fulfillment hubs that aim to make last-minute shopping feel instant. Seattle Business & Jobs: Starbucks is cutting about 300 U.S. support roles and closing some regional offices as it tries to reset operations. Local Governance & Community: OPAL Community Land Trust added four new board members, underscoring continued momentum for community land ownership. Sports & Culture: Iran named its World Cup squad for a Turkey camp, while Seattle braces for major World Cup travel and transit disruptions.
