Trump's Tariff Tactics: Exploring Legal Workarounds
Jack highlights that despite the court's ruling, President Trump has options like Section 301 and 232 tariffs. He can also consider reviving "List 4B" tariffs on Chinese goods. Other legal avenues include Sections 122, 201, 338, and 404, allowing various tariff impositions. Congressional efforts to empower the president further face legislative challenges.

Trade expert Jack Slagle called the ruling “a significant setback for the administration, which has leaned heavily on IEEPA to impose tariffs at will against China, Mexico, Canada, and everywhere else.”
But, “even if the Supreme Court doesn’t hold up the tariffs, it doesn’t necessarily mean the end of tariffs on imported goods,” said Slagle, founder of NexINT Global, in an email to CNBC. “It may not even result in a relative pause of the trade conflict.”
“We can expect that the president and his trade advisors will be reviewing all options, and to be clear, this is all far from over,” he said.
