The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026, creating a consumer goods giant that will generate approximately $32 billion annually by combining Kimberly-Clark’s well-known name brands, such as Huggies, Cottonelle, and Kleenex, with Kenvue’s established brands.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy acknowledged the strain, stating that safety will come first, but travelers should brace for more delays, cancellations, and long lines if the shutdown continues.
