Trump's Newest Tariffs Are Likely Illegal Too
Free Trade Trump's Newest Tariffs Are Likely Illegal Too The Section 301 tariffs announced on Thursday overstep the powers granted by Congress and likely run afoul of the major questions doctrine. Those new tariffs replace the so-called "global tariff" of 10 percent that Trump implemented in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling in February that struck down an earlier set of tariffs. That "global tariff" had been implemented under the auspices of a law that grants the president power to impose temporary tariffs that last no more than 150 days—in other words, that was always a stop-gap solution, and the tariffs announced Thursday are meant to be a more permanent arrangement.
