Fox News: Former Costco executive defends its DEI policies, says critics don't understand the company's culture
Former Costco executive Roger Campbell defends the company's DEI policies, asserting that these principles have always been integral to Costco's culture, even before the term "DEI" was coined. He emphasizes that the company's focus has consistently been on hiring good people and providing fair wages and benefits.
Despite criticism and pressure from 19 state attorneys general to abandon DEI initiatives, Costco's board remains committed to these values, viewing attacks on DEI as threats to the business itself. Campbell acknowledges the need for greater diversity in leadership roles while maintaining that promotions were based on merit.

Le Monde: Canada, Mexico and China prepare retaliation to US tariffs
In response to President Trump's recent tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, Canada plans to impose 25% tariffs on $30 billion of U.S. goods starting February 4, followed by additional tariffs on $125 billion worth of products. This retaliation aims to counteract the economic impact of U.S. measures.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce warns that these tariffs could lead to a 2.6% reduction in Canada's GDP, raising concerns about potential economic destabilization. Mexico and China have also indicated they will respond to the tariffs, with Mexico proposing a working group on drug trafficking and migration.
GB News: Motorists tempted by Chinese electric vehicles as appetite for cheaper cars outgrows petrol and diesel models
A recent study indicates that price significantly influences consumer attitudes towards Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). Many potential buyers, especially younger individuals, are open to considering Chinese brands if prices are notably lower than established competitors.
The research highlights that a mere 10% price reduction could attract one in ten buyers, with a third willing to consider a Chinese vehicle if prices drop by 11-20%. Despite potential tariffs, Chinese brands like BYD and MG are gaining traction in Europe, with increasing brand familiarity and market acceptance.
