Senate Farm Bill, Currency Markets, and Forced Labor

The Trade Guys

I'm Scott. I'm Bill. And we're The Trade Guys. We're listening to The Trade Guys, a podcast produced by CSIS, where we talk about trade in terms that everyone can understand. I'm Alex Kisling, and I'm here with Scott Miller and Bill Reich, the CSIS Trade Guys. Thanks for listening to The Trade Guys. On today's episode, we break down the trade provisions in the Senate Farm Bill,

the U.S.-Japan intervention in currency markets, and the Trump administration's latest enforcement actions targeting goods linked to forced labor. All that and more on this episode of The Trade Guys. Welcome back to The Trade Guys, everybody. We have a few great topics to cover today. But before we dive in, I want to go back to Bill at the news desk.

It's been a few weeks since we've done this, Bill, but you have a number of updates on refunds and legal issues that we have covered over the past couple of months. So what are we looking at today? Well, yes, there's a bit of a litigation update. Their lawsuits are multiplying like rabbits, as the sheriffs have multiplied initially like rabbits, and now they're all being followed by lawsuits. The 301 case now has three lawsuits pending against the 301 tariffs.

The plaintiffs are a small watch company in California called Collective Horology. That's horology with an H. Burlap and Barrel, which is in New York, import spices. And a separate group of companies, including our old friend Rick Oldenburg from Learning Resources and others who we had on this program in the past. And then the third set of plaintiffs are the usual collection of 25 attorneys general and governors, all from democratic states.
