Trump threatens EU with tariffs over Canada proposals

Children 's clothing retailer The Children's Place filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with reported debts between $500 million and $1 billion.

The company confirmed store closures are coming across its network of over 450 U.S. locations, though exact numbers and dates were not provided.

The bankruptcy follows recent leadership resignations, including former CEO Muhammad Asif Seemab, after an 18.9% decline in year-over-year sales.

Executives attributed the financial collapse to inflation, declining consumer demand, severe retail competition, and President Donald Trump 's tariffs.

The news highlights broader struggles in the children's apparel sector, where competitors like Carter's have also closed dozens of stores due to rising costs.
