Are Trump’s “Fallback” Tariffs Legal?

After his loss at the Supreme Court, President Trump turned to other statutes to recreate his tariffs. Will they fare any better in court?

Trump digs in his heels on tariffs — with major implications for the US dollar​

Market strategists were weighing in on President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address late Tuesday and coming away with some important implications for the U.S. dollar.

In a nutshell, Trump gave no sign that he might relent on his current tariff agenda. The president’s new temporary global tariffs of 10% — which came in reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision Friday to strike down previous tariffs that were based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act — went into effect earlier Tuesday. Trump has threatened to push those new tariffs up to 15%.

Opinion: Congress must define a new 21st century tariff doctrine​

The Supreme Court’s decision that the sweeping tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act exceed the executive’s authority is a welcome restraint on the president’s abuse of tariff statutes. But the job remains only partially done.

The Supreme Court decision puts the ball squarely back in Congress’ court to complete the job of defining a new tariff agenda.

The Trump administration’s sweeping and volatile tariffs undermined the global system that had been in place for decades. President Trump had imposed the highest tariffs since 1934, increasing prices for American businesses, workers, farmers, ranchers, and families.

The current Congress would be lucky to be able to agree on what day of the week it is.
....and you think they are capable of enacting Century defining laws on tariffs? Lol


If we wait on a dem controlled Congress, all they will do is make our tariffs zero while other nations keep their tariffs on our exports.

You know, their version of supposed "free trade"? Lol

I agree 100%.

Last night when T claimed he didn't need congress for anything the speaker of the house jumped outta his seat and clapped like a retarded loon. For anyone to clap when their boss tells them they are no longer needed in the workplace speaks volumes.

Then we have him (MJ) sending congress home so they can't vote in budget stuff and Epstein crap. This too speaks volumes.

And we also have the fake ass Christianity. Johnson proclaims to have a relationship with God. That's laughable. His God is T. And what ever T proclaims is gospel.

It's a shame how far congress has fallen. And it sure as hell isn't all due to T. It's been going on for years. And I don't see things turning around anytime soon. I fact, I things will keep getting worse until we get a majority of D's in there. Don't you agree?

Unless it means that he supports Trump's actions because he agrees that most of Congress is a detriment to Trump's agenda?

He's supposed to represent congress not the prez. He's never going to make it as a union rep.



And I was thinking we could agree on something :eek:

He can represent congress while also believing the potus to be correct.
.....and why on Earth would I agree that getting dems in will fix anything when dems are the ones who f'ed everything up for the 4 years between Trump terms?

Do you actually agree with their open border policy?

I'm trying to get you to laugh.

No. But it's really not a R or D thing. It's a them thing. Those elected lunatics kick cans down the road all day, every day. Then come election time they bring the cans up as talking points. The immigration issue should have been fixed a long time ago. Both sides need to come together and actually do something other than talk crazy about nonsensical stuff.

As for tariffs, they (both sides) need to pass real laws and take back their job and responsibilities.
 

Trump’s tariff chaos drives British businesses into arms of China​

Donald Trump’s tariffs are pushing British businesses closer to China in a blow to the US president’s ambitions of isolating Beijing on the world stage.

UK companies have loosened ties with the US while targeting new territories including China, Japan, Australia and a number of EU nations, according to a new survey of 2,000 firms.

Three quarters of firms reported that US sales had fallen or flatlined by the fourth quarter of last year. In contrast, exports to nine other countries jumped, with the number of manufacturers reporting increased sales to China doubling over the year.

The Growing Together Alliance, a grouping of regional business bodies that commissioned the survey from YouGov with Manchester Airports Group (MAG), said the president’s trade wars were forcing UK firms to reconsider their allegiances.

FedEx says it will return any refunds it gets from Trump tariffs to customers​

Delivery giant FedEx said it will return to customers any refunds it gets from President Trump’s tariffs after the Supreme Court ruled them unlawful last week.

FedEx is among more than 1,000 companies that have filed lawsuits with the U.S. Court of International Trade to recoup the costs of Trump’s tariffs, mostly filed before the Supreme Court ruling.

“If refunds are issued to FedEx, we will issue refunds to the shippers and consumers who originally bore those charges,” FedEx said in a statement Thursday. “When that will happen and the exact process for requesting and issuing refunds will depend in part on future guidance from the government and the court.”
