Tariffs Are Back. What’s Changed?

The Journal.

[SPEAKER_A] Live from New York, it's The Journal.

[SPEAKER_B] That's right, Jess and I are back with another live show in New York City.

[SPEAKER_A] This time on Wednesday, September 9th, we're going to be at City Winery for an evening of sharp reporting, insider conversation, and special guests.

[SPEAKER_B] And probably wine?

[SPEAKER_A] I hope so. Either way, you won't want to miss it.

[SPEAKER_B] Tickets are on sale now. Check out the link in our show notes.

[SPEAKER_C] See you there.

[SPEAKER_A] Last February, President Trump's trade agenda took a big hit. The Supreme Court struck down most of President Trump's global tariffs today in a 6-3 decision. The case revolves around the president's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977.

[SPEAKER_B] The court ruled that they were going to strike down large portions of the administration's global tariff plan, finding that the president exceeded his authority.

[SPEAKER_A] That could have been the end of Trump's tariff ambitions. But it turns out—

[SPEAKER_B] It was only a bump in the road, really. After 5 months of relative calm, the tariff agenda is back.

[SPEAKER_A] Our colleague Gavin Bade covers trade and economics.

[SPEAKER_B] President Trump last week unveiled tariffs on virtually all U.S. trading partners. These came into effect to replace the tariffs that the Supreme Court had thrown out in February.

[SPEAKER_A] These new tariffs are pretty sweeping. They target products coming from more than 80 countries. Countries that the Trump administration says don't have strong enough enforcement against forced labor.

[SPEAKER_B] It just so happens that he thinks almost every trading ally, every trading partner that we have is not really enforcing prohibitions on forced labor on their books.
