A New Jersey company, Gellert Global Group, filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump, claiming he wrongly used an old 1930 law to impose high tariffs on Canadian cheese. The company says these tariffs cost it over $520,000 and could reach $40 million yearly, arguing that newer trade laws limit the president’s power to do this.
Key Facts
Gellert Global Group imports Canadian cheese and has paid over $520,000 in tariffs on cheese shipments since September 2026.
The company estimates the tariffs could cost it $40 million each year if they continue.
The lawsuit challenges President Trump’s use of Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian products.
Gellert says newer trade laws, like Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, limit the president’s authority to impose these tariffs.
The lawsuit claims the administration did not follow the 30-day waiting period required by Section 338 before starting to collect tariffs.
Section 338 has not been used to impose tariffs in the 96 years before President Trump invoked it in 2026.
Canada has responded by putting tariffs on about $30 billion worth of U.S. goods, with rates of 15 to 50 percent.
The White House plans to defend the tariffs, saying the law is appropriate to respond to Canadian trade discrimination.

Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have both lost support in prediction markets for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. The decline in their odds comes after Vance mentioned the chance he might not run due to family reasons, and political experts note uncertainty about the Republican succession after President Trump.
Key Facts
Prediction markets show Vance’s chances dropping from about 53% to 43.8% recently.
Rubio’s odds declined from 27.8% to 15.1% in the same markets.

AI agents are becoming more common in online shopping, helping customers find products and even make purchases. Some companies, like Amazon, are trying to block these AI tools because they raise questions about who is responsible for buying decisions and how advertising money is counted.
Key Facts
Meta launched an AI agent called Muse that can send emails, fill forms, book travel, and make purchases through Link’s wallet.
Amazon banned AI agents like Muse from buying on its site, saying purchases should be transparent and allowed by retailers.
Another AI tool, Perplexity’s Buy with Pro, helps users buy recommended products with one click.
Amazon sued Perplexity's AI browser Comet, saying it pretended to be a human shopper and broke site rules.
A court ruled that the AI does not break the law because the human user, not the AI, is actually buying.
AI agents affect how advertisers pay Amazon, since ads are priced based on human attention.
Many business buyers use generative AI for research but still ask human salespeople to check the information.
Buyers trust AI slightly less than human salespeople and use AI mainly for gathering information, while humans provide assurance and handle risk.

Advances in technology and medical care have made it possible for many orthopedic joint replacement surgeries to be done outside hospitals, with patients going home the same day. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics help surgeons plan and perform these operations more precisely and could soon personalize treatments even more by analyzing patient data.
Key Facts
Joint replacement surgeries used to require 3-5 day hospital stays; now many patients can go home the same day.
Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), where outpatient surgeries are done, offer care that can be as good or better than major hospitals.
Improvements in anesthesia, pain management, and fluid management help patients recover faster and safely leave the surgery center on the same day.
Robotics and computer-assisted navigation help surgeons plan and place joint implants more accurately using 3D models.
AI could help doctors predict the best surgical methods and implants for each patient by analyzing large amounts of patient data.
AI might also identify patients who may not benefit from surgery, preventing unnecessary procedures.
Experts believe AI can spread high-quality surgical knowledge to many surgeons and patients, improving care nationwide.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and leading hospitals support these technological advances in orthopedic surgery.
