Trump's Dubious New Section 301Tariffs
The Trump Administration has announced plans to impose new tariffs on imports from around 60 countries, citing concerns over forced labor. Critics argue that these tariffs may be an illegal power grab and lack sufficient justification. Legal experts suggest that the approach could face significant challenges in court due to its broad and sweeping nature.
- ▪The new tariffs will impose 12.5 percent on goods from countries like China and India, and 10 percent on goods from the European Union and Canada.
- ▪The tariffs are similar to previously invalidated tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
- ▪Legal scholars believe the use of Section 301 for such sweeping tariffs may violate the major questions doctrine.
