Trump revives tariffs after Supreme Court defeat with new legal strategy

A new round of President Trump tariffs officially took effect overnight

The administration began imposing new import taxes of 10 to 12.5 percent on goods from 60 trading partners

replacing the temporary tariffs that expired at midnight. The new levies target countries, the administration says, are not doing enough to keep goods made with forced labor out of global supply chains

Trade Representative Jamison Greer says the goal is to pressure those countries

to crack down on forced labor while protecting American workers. In a statement, Greer said

Today's action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice

to improve the welfare of workers everywhere. Trump is using a different section of federal trade law this time

after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier tariff strategy, ruling he did not have the authority to impose broad import taxes under emergency powers

Hours before these new tariffs were announced Thursday, Justice Elena Kagan pointed to the court's earlier tariff ruling

as an example of the judiciary checking presidential power You know tariffs is probably the key policy issue for this president I mean something he campaigned on he ran on he cared an enormous amount about I don think that there are all

that many decisions in recent times where a court strikes down such an important policy

to a sit-in president. This latest round of tariffs uses a different trade law

than the one the Supreme Court rejected earlier this year, setting up the next legal battle over Trump's tariff strategy
