New tariffs face lawsuit, fall short on revenue, analysis finds
- Two American small businesses sued the Trump administration over new forced-labor tariffs, claiming the government is preserving a global tariff regime the U.S. Supreme Court struck down by shifting it to a different legal authority.
- An outside budget analysis found the new tariffs replace less than 60% of the revenue lost after the Supreme Court invalidated Trump's tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977.
- The lawsuit argues the tariffs exceed the administration's authority under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows action against unfair practices of specific countries.
- The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the forced-labor tariffs will raise about $900 billion through 2036 but will not fully replace lost revenue, with federal debt expected to reach 122% of GDP by 2036 instead of 120%.
