The small businesses that brought two high-profile legal challenges to President Trump's trade agenda are suing to block the latest round of tariffs. Why it matters: The lawsuits set up another legal test of Trump's tariff agenda after courts this year rejected one tariff regime and cast doubt on another. What's new: One lawsuit was filed on behalf of Burlap & Barrel, which previously challenged Trump's temporary Section 122 tariffs , and watch retailer Collective Horology. - The other was brought by toymaker Learning Resources — which won a Supreme Court case overturning Trump's tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act— along with a flooring manufacturer and affiliated firms. Catch up quick: The lawsuits…
The Trump administration has imposed new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 countries for their failure to ban or enforce prohibitions on goods made with forced labor.

The Trump administration has imposed new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 countries for their failure to ban or enforce prohibitions on goods made with forced labor. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced the final action on July 23, 2026, under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The duties took effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on July 24, replacing the temporary global 10% tariffs that were set to expire that same day. U.S. trade officials sorted the 60 economies into three groups based on their forced-labor import rules: Seventeen countries that have introduced even partial restrictions face a flat additional 10% tariff. These are: Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,…Open
State of the Union: The administration is replacing the president’s existing tariffs with a new schedule under a different authority. The post Trump Launches New Tariff Regime appeared first on The American Conservative .
The Trump administration imposed new tariffs of between 10 and 12.5 percent on goods from a slew of countries Friday in an attempt to preserve the president’s tariff regime after the Supreme Court struck down his Liberation Day tariffs. The new tariffs went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday, the same time the stopgap tariffs Trump enacted after the Supreme Court struck down his previous tariffs expired. The duties, imposed under the aegis of Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, target 80 countries for allegedly failing to prohibit imports made with forced labor. Imports from countries the administration judged to have made some progress, including India, Mexico, and the United Kingdom, will face a 10 percent tariff. Goods from China,…Open
The Trump administration keeps finding new ways to wage trade wars. As one novel tariff authority nears its expiration, it's testing another — threatening huge duties on Canadian goods under a never-before-used law. Why it matters: The administration's willingness to test new trade authorities makes tariff policy harder for businesses, investors and foreign governments to handicap. - It's hard to know which will survive challenges in the courts, and over what time horizon there may be any resolution. - Even if individual tariffs are delayed or struck down, the administration can still use the threat of them to gain negotiating leverage while forcing companies to plan for higher costs. - It's unfolding even as renewed conflict in the…
State of the Union: The Trump administration issued new levies on the country partly in punishment for the treatment of its former President Jair Bolsonaro. The post Trump Administration Imposes 25 Percent Tariff on Brazil appeared first on The American Conservative .
The Trump administration on Wednesday announced that it would impose a new Section 301 tariff of 25 percent on Brazil for alleged unfair trade practices. The tariff would impose new import charges on a wide range of goods from the South American nation but exempt some major categories including oranges, coffee, oil and gas, as well as beef. These new tariffs come as the Trump administration reimposes tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this year. President Donald Trump has increased pressures on the Brazilian government in part for its treatment of Jair Bolsonaro, the former Brazilian president and Trump’s political ally, who in 2025 was sentenced to 27 years in prison for leading a coup plot following his loss in…Open
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled 2-1 that Trump overstepped his authority by invoking Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose a 10% global import duty, which he did without congressional approval.
The Court of International Trade on Thursday ruled that President Trump's newest round of tariffs were illegal, though the duties are likely to stay in effect while the administration appeals. Why it matters: It is yet another legal setback for the White House's trade policy — this time ruling against the suite of tariffs that officials imposed to replace those struck down by the Supreme Court . State of play: Trump turned to Section 122 — a never-before-used provision of the Trade Act of 1974 — the same day the Supreme Court struck down the bulk of his tariffs in February, imposing a 10% across-the-board surcharge set to expire July 24. - The trade statute allows the president to impose a temporary tariff of as much as 15% for…
