I'm not sure how much this is making the news in the US, as I haven't seen a lot about it, so just in case:
Trump abolished the de minimis rule which meant packages up to $800 could come into the US with no tariffs, and this comes into effect (AS FAR AS WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING TRUMP SAYS) on August 29.
As a result, almost 30 countries, including mine, have now suspended package delivery to the US, because nobody knows how this stupid tariff thing is going to work or how to handle it. This applies to mailed packages, not container-loads of stuff that come in. The suspension is currently indefinite, because mail cannot resume until systems have been worked out and currently the US has not supplied enough detail for that to happen.
So if you're in the US and you ordered something recently from overseas and were expecting it in the mail, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
So much winning.
