Trade tensions continue to impact multiple sectors including education and energy. The expiration of the U.S. duty-free exemption for low-value packages caused European postal services to halt shipments to the U.S., complicating international parcel flows. Canada adjusts trade tariffs in a move perceived as capitulation by some leaders but aimed at resetting negotiations with the U.S. Meanwhile, the Trump administration targets clean energy projects, halting an 80%-complete offshore wind farm citing national security. These policy shifts influence economic stability, research funding, and university operations reliant on cross-border commerce and sustainable energy initiatives.
