New tariffs could allow Trump to make levies permanent without going to Congress — ‘he’s trying every side door and every unlatched window to get in’
The expired tariffs were themselves a temporary replacement for worldwide tariffs the Supreme Court struck down in February. The tariffs were levied on countries that the U.S. says either don’t have or don’t effectively enforce a forced-labor import ban. The affected countries, which account for 99% of U.S. imports, were quick to protest, calling the Trump administration’s claims unfounded and arbitrary, as nations with vastly different records on forced labor received the same tariff level.
