Trump admin live updates: Trump warns of ‘economic ruination’ if courts rule against tariffs
The fashion industry is feeling the impact of Trump’s tariffs, prompting industry leaders to take action. Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, along with Steven Kolb and Stephen Lamar, met with White House officials to discuss potential tariff relief. The goal of the meeting was to address the high tariffs that the fashion industry has long faced compared to other sectors of the economy.
The American Apparel & Footwear Association spokesperson confirmed the meeting, stating that the fashion industry supports ten million American jobs and has struggled with high tariffs for years. The focus of the discussion was on achieving balanced trade to maintain jobs in the US and preserve American prosperity.
During her visit to Washington, Wintour also met with politicians to advocate for the industry. Notably, there has been tension between Wintour and Melania Trump, as the first lady has never been featured on the cover of Vogue, unlike previous first ladies.
The impact of tariffs on the fashion industry has been a longstanding issue, leading to increased prices on goods. The industry continues to navigate these challenges, seeking solutions to support American jobs and economic growth.
Overall, the meeting at the White House underscored the importance of addressing trade issues to ensure the continued success of the fashion industry and its contribution to the American economy.
