Trump sued hours after new tariffs take effect, as experts say they may not hold up
President Donald Trump's global "liberation day" tariffs were struck down in the courts, shattering the cornerstone of his trade agenda. On Friday, he declared that the U.S. will "immediately" start a 301 investigation into the EU in retaliation for the hefty fines it has imposed on U.S. tech giants. It was the latest in a flurry of tariff actions Trump has taken in recent days, including slapping 25% duties on Brazilian imports — also via Section 301 — and vowing 50% tariffs on some goods from Canada.
