Debatable: Will Trump’s new tariffs be overturned?
President Trump imposed new tariffs on over 80 countries using Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, avoiding the legal challenges that previously struck down tariffs under IEEPA. Legal experts are divided, with some arguing the broader precedent for Section 301 strengthens the administration's position, while others highlight concerns about the rushed and expansive nature of the penalties.
