Trump’s New Tariffs Face a Familiar Court Challenge

The Trump administration will return to court this Wednesday to defend its authority to implement a global trade war. This marks the third legal challenge in less than two years regarding the administration's power to impose punishing tariffs. Specifically, the US trade court is scheduled to weigh a legal challenge focused on forced labor tariffs. The proceedings will determine the legality of these trade measures as the administration continues its strategy of using tariffs for economic leverage.
