Trump’s latest global tariffs face court challenges and legal scrutiny

The Trump administration imposed broad Section 301 tariffs on goods from more than 80 countries, citing forced-labor concerns, with the scope covering about 99.4% of U.S. trade. Two small businesses quickly sued, arguing the move preserves a broad tariff regime previously struck down by the courts. Experts say Section 301 may be unlawful as used here and could be blocked or struck down, signaling a prolonged legal fight that could affect the tariffs' fate and the administration’s trade strategy.
