LEGO Americas Group Senior Vice President Skip Kodak talks about the company's 60th anniversary. Kodak also discusses the challenges LEGO faces in an increasingly tech-conscious world. The company is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a 10-foot-tall LEGO structure, built from thousands of LEGO bricks. After debuting in New York City, the model will travel the world. Kodak says the goal of LEGO is always getting more LEGO bricks into children's hands. Kodak explains that while LEGO has been in China for decades, the company still wants to increase its reach there. Kodak says the most difficult part of breaking into the Chinese market is the massive scale of it.

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. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
