Tariffs Under Fire Over Forced Labor Claim | Business and Finance News

The White House just slapped new tariffs on goods from over 80 countries under Section 301, claiming it’s to combat forced labor — but critics say it’s really a stealthy attempt to resurrect a broad tariff system the Supreme Court recently struck down. Small businesses have already sued, arguing the move is legally shaky and politically motivated. While some legal experts say the administration’s maneuvering is too flexible to challenge, others insist it’s unlawful. Businesses are being told to prepare for these tariffs as if they’re permanent — because even if they’re challenged, the legal fight could drag on for years. The courts will soon decide if this is a legitimate enforcement tool or just a new guise for old trade policies. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
