Trump reins in new tariffs push after court blocks emergency levies

Trump’s aides are re-launching a broad tariff drive using older laws after the Supreme Court blocked emergency levies, proposing 25% duties on Brazil, a Vietnam probe, and 10–12.5% duties on more than 60 countries over forced-labor rules, plus investigations into industrial overcapacity and subsidies and a China policy board inviting input. The plan aims for durability under Section 122/301 rules, with a late‑July deadline to keep Levies in place, though it faces potential legal challenges; some relief is offered by cutting farm‑equipment tariffs to 15% from 25% as inflation and midterm politics loom.
