The administration recently imposed new double-digit tariffs on 59 countries and the European Union, citing their alleged failure to adequately address imports produced by forced labor. These new tariffs, implemented under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, came into effect precisely as temporary worldwide tariffs, which followed a Supreme Court ruling against earlier tariffs imposed under the IEEPA, expired. New York Attorney General Letitia James stated the administration is "illegally trying to raise taxes on families and businesses" after losing at the Supreme Court. Legal experts note that while previous tariff attempts by the administration used novel statutes, Section 301 has a history of use and established legal guardrails, suggesting a significant legal battle ahead.
