Steven Overly, tech reporter for Politico, discusses the United States' Supreme Court case against Microsoft. The case could have a global impact on email security. Overly says the question at the heart of the case is whether foreign governments should have access to your email. Tech companies worry the answer will be yes if the U.S. wins this case. The UK passed legislation in 1986 for mail security but Overly notes the world looked very different back then.

US businesses that rely on Chinese imports express relief and anxiety
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months.

They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
