Trump's New Tariffs Face Legal Challenge
Experts say the tariffs may not hold up in court.
1Trump's Tariff Policy
President Trump's global tariff policy was struck down by the courts, shaking the foundation of his trade agenda. Experts suggest that the new tariffs could face a similar fate.
2Implementation of New Tariffs
The Trump administration imposed broad tariffs on goods from over 80 countries, targeting those that have failed to effectively prohibit forced labor practices. The tariffs were enacted under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.
3Legal Process Begins
Just hours after the new tariffs took effect, two small businesses filed a lawsuit. The plaintiffs argue that the government is using Section 301 as a pretext to recreate the global tariff regime.
4Expert Opinions
Kimberly Clausing from UCLA School of Law argues that the new tariffs are clearly unlawful. Clausing states that the administration's focus on forced labor is a pretext to recreate the old tariff regime.
5Awaiting Court Decision
Experts say it's difficult to predict how the courts will rule. However, they note that any legal challenges will take time to make their way through the legal system.
6Impact on Businesses
Andrew Siciliano, Global and U.S. Head of Trade and Customs at KPMG, advises companies to plan around the existing tariffs. Siciliano emphasizes that businesses should not expect the tariffs to be quickly reversed or modified.
