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…

President Trump has initiated a Section 301 investigation and threatened tariffs in response to the EU’s hefty fines on U.S. tech giants, marking a significant shift in trade relations. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump has announced a Section 301 investigation into the European Union’s practices following a $1 billion fine imposed on Google, part of a broader pattern of the bloc imposing financial penalties on U.S. tech companies. DETAIL: The EU’s latest fine on Google is part of its Digital Markets Act enforcement, which has seen over $18 billion in penalties against U.S. tech firms. Trump argued in a Truth Social post on Friday that these fines are discriminatory, with the EU ramping them up under the Biden…Open

New tariffs of 10% to 12.5% took effect on imports from 60 countries overnight, replacing emergency duties the Supreme Court invalidated five months ago, and projections say the levies could generate nearly $1 trillion over the next decade. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced the duties on July 23, capping a months-long investigation into whether trading partners had failed to ban or enforce bans on goods produced with forced labor. The tariffs, imposed under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act, went live at 12:01 a.m. July 24, the same moment a temporary 10% global tariff expired. The timing was deliberate: the administration built a legal bridge from one tariff regime to the next without leaving a single day uncovered. The…Open
The White House has found new legal ways to keep tariffs flowing . But it's not enough to fully replace the revenue from the import taxes the Supreme Court struck down. The intrigue: The administration's replacement tariffs would raise about $105 billion a year — replacing about 60% of the revenue lost when the Supreme Court invalidated the administration's emergency tariff regime, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget . Why it matters: The administration's new tariffs are narrower and include more carveouts than the emergency duties they replaced, reducing both the potential economic fallout and the revenue they generate. By the numbers: CRFB estimates that Trump's latest tariff actions — including the new duties…

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 announced a new round of tariffs of as much as 12.5% on 60 trading partners on Thursday, preventing a lapse in import taxes as a temporary tariff program nears expiration. Why it matters: It shows the White House's determination to sustain its tariff agenda as it turns to new trade laws as earlier authorities run their course or face legal challenges. - The new tariffs take effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Friday, precisely when the temporary duties end. - It has been one of the busiest weeks for Trump's trade agenda in months, from new tariffs on Brazil to fresh threats against Canada and now a broader new tariff authority. Zoom out: The tariffs stem from a Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 investigation launched…
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…
