Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Trump's new tariffs on Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Thailand are hitting apparel brands like Nike, Adidas, and Lululemon, forcing price hikes and stock declines. A 46% tariff on Vietnam is especially damaging, with few mitigation options. Analysts warn of inflation and recession risks. The tariffs also triggered a bond selloff. Vietnam seeks to ease tensions by boosting US purchases amid its large trade surplus.
