Trump Pushes Forward with Tariffs as Lawsuits Mount
Trump uses Section 301 authority to impose tariffs replacing invalidated duties, despite lawsuits and studies showing U.S. households may pay $600 to $800 more annually, Yale Budget Lab said.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump opened Section 301 investigations overseen by the U.S. Trade Representative's office, requiring consultations before possible new tariffs on global trading partners.
- After the Supreme Court of the United States' decision last month, the administration shifted from IEEPA to statutes like Section 122, which Trump invoked to impose a 10% global import duty, aiming to replace Section 301 tariffs.
- A coalition of Democratic-led states and Liberty Justice Center sued, with attorneys stating 'No president has ever used Section 122 to impose balance-of-payments tariffs' as conditions haven't occurred since before its passage.
- Yale Budget Lab found Section 122 tariffs could cost the average U.S. household between $600 and $800 per year, as studies show U.S. businesses and consumers bear most tariff costs.
- The administration says a provision allows tariffs up to 15% for up to 150 days and has proposed a $2,000 tariff rebate, claiming tariff revenue could help pay down the $38 trillion debt, which experts have questioned.
