The dress, a cotton poplin A-line shirt dress, featured a sharp collar, button-down front, and a distinctive grosgrain tab at the waist adorned with Thom Browne's signature red, white and blue stripe — a quiet tribute to the holiday's colors.

Latest Sales Data Reveal Clear Winners And Losers in a Messy EV Market

The second quarter of 2025 painted a chaotic picture of the electric vehicle market in the United States. While General Motors enjoyed a breakout quarter, most other automakers, especially Tesla and Ford, stumbled hard. EV sales are now a mix of breakthroughs and breakdowns. And all of this is happening under a White House that has turned decisively against green subsidies. Despite a political environment hostile to clean energy, GM managed to deliver a stunning 111% increase in EV sales compared to the same quarter last year, moving 46,280 electric vehicles. The Detroit automaker's investment in new models appears to be paying off. GM now commands an estimated 13% share of the U.S. EV market and is emerging as a real contender to Tesla's long-standing dominance. Many analysts attribute this rise to both product quality and a growing consumer backlash against Tesla CEO Elon Musk's polarizing political activities. 'Tesla, the market leader for years, is now clearly in retreat. The company delivered 384,122 vehicles globally in Q2, a 13.5% decline year-over-year. U.S. sales fell an estimated 16.7% to 125,000 units. Industry experts say Tesla's troubles go beyond competition. Musk's involvement in Donald Trump's administration, as head of the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has alienated many liberal and progressive buyers who once made up a key slice of Tesla's customer base. Ford's EV division didn't fare much better. The company's electric vehicle sales dropped 31.4% in Q2, totaling just 16,438 units. Key models like the F-150 Lightning and the E-Transit van were down 26% and 88% respectively. Even Ford's best-performing EV, the Mustang Mach-E, saw a 20% decline. A stop-sale order during the quarter due to a safety recall involving over 317,000 vehicles further dented Ford's EV momentum. Toyota continues to gain ground but largely on the back of hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles. It sold 320,817 'electrified vehicles' in Q2, up nearly 30% from a year ago. But only a small fraction of that total consists of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Hyundai and Kia reported steep declines Both companies declined to share sales data for other electric models like the Kona EV and Niro EV. The shifting landscape also extended to the newer, 'disruptive' electric vehicle manufacturers. Rivian, known for its electric trucks and SUVs, delivered 10,661 units in the second quarter, marking a 22% decline from a year ago. While this drop might seem concerning, Rivian stated that its production was intentionally limited during this period to prepare for the launch of its 2026 model year vehicles later in July. In contrast, luxury EV maker Lucid saw a notable increase in deliveries, soaring 38% to 3,309 units in Q2. This marks a new record for Lucid's quarterly deliveries and its seventh consecutive quarter of increased handovers. The real wildcard in this turbulent market is federal policy. President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' signed into law on July 4, will end the $7,500 federal tax credit for new EVs and the $4,000 credit for used EVs on September 30. Those subsidies were cornerstones of the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act and helped power EV adoption across the country. The bill also slashes incentives for rooftop solar, heat pumps, and other green energy products, and removes fuel-efficiency penalties for automakers. As the expiration date looms, many industry watchers expect a rush of purchases in Q3 as consumers scramble to lock in discounts. But after September? That's the real test. The EV market is entering a period of uncertainty. GM is rising. Tesla is falling. Ford is scrambling. And the federal government is pulling back its support. If Q2 was a mess, Q3 could be a feeding frenzy, and Q4 a reckoning.

Donald Trump Signals Breakthrough in US-China TikTok Deal

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Donald Trump said that he will start talking to China in the coming days about a possible deal with TikTok, which was banned in the United States over claims it posed a national security risk. The president told reporters on Friday the U.S. "pretty much" has a deal on the video-sharing app. Critics had said TikTok could hand over U.S. user data to the Chinese government, an accusation the company has denied. Newsweek has contacted TikTok for comment. This image shows TikTok's logo on a smartphone screen and U.S. and China flags on a laptop screen in Frankfurt am Main, western Germany. This image shows TikTok's logo on a smartphone screen and U.S. and China flags on a laptop screen in Frankfurt am Main, western It Matters Following national security concerns about TikTok user data, U.S. Congress passed a law in April 2024 forcing its sale. A deal to spin off TikTok's U.S. operations into a U.S.-based firm was paused after China responded to Trump's announcements of tariffs on China. Trump's comments could add clarity to the future of the app in the United States. What To Know Trump had criticized the app during his first presidential term but now supports its continued use in the U.S. and he extended to September 17 a deadline for the app's China-based owners ByteDance to divest TikTok's American assets. That extension was Trump's third executive order to delay the ban or sale of TikTok and gave ByteDance another 90 days to find a buyer. Amid the uncertainty about the U.S. future of the app, Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Friday that talks with China would start next week, involving Chinese President Xi Jinping or one of his representatives. "We pretty much have a deal," Trump added. He said he might visit Xi in China or the Chinese leader may visit the U.S. following mutual invitations last month to visit their respective countries. Trump had last month teased that there was a buyer for TikTok, telling Fox News there was a group of "very wealthy people" who were willing to acquire the platform, and there would be more certainty in "about two weeks." However, TikTok's impact on democracy is under scrutiny. In May, investigative campaigning organization Global Witness told Newsweek it examined the platform's algorithm and how it recommended political content. The group said TikTok directed new, politically balanced users disproportionately to "hard-right content over and above all other content" ahead of elections in Romania, Poland and Germany. "It raises the question, why is TikTok's algorithm so into the hard right?" Global Witness campaign strategy lead Ava Lee said. What People Are Saying President Donald Trump said: "I think we're gonna start Monday or Tuesday … talking to China … but we would, we pretty much have a deal." "I think it's good for them. I think the deal is good for China, and it's good for us," he added. What Happens Next There will be anticipation over whether the deadline of 17 September for ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of TikTok will be met. A sale would need approval from the Chinese government, but Trump said he thought Xi would agree to it, touting his "great relationship" with the leader.
