A New Lawsuit on Trump’s Tariff Policy
The centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s economic policy is under legal assault again. Reporter Bernie Bennett has details.
VERBATIM:
The U.S. Court of International Trade heard oral arguments Friday in an attempt to overturn the temporary tariffs that President Trump turned to after the Supreme Court in February struck down his preferred choice – even bigger, even more sweeping tariffs.
Defeated at the high court, Mr. Trump reached for a stopgap solution – imposing temporary worldwide tariffs under a 1974 trade law. Now two dozen states and some businesses are challenging the president’s authority to impose the new tariffs.
