https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-trump-forced-labor-fd55d81461c38892a03c322bfcc46e95
NEW YORK (AP) — Trump’s tariffs are headed to court — again.

Two lawsuits filed by small businesses are challenging Trump’s sweeping tariffs announced Thursday that impose double-digit levies on 60 trading partners.

The tariffs, implemented under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 for what the Trump administration says is countries’ failure to prevent imports produced by forced labor, cover 99% of U.S. imports. Critics say the goal is less to prevent forced-labor imports and more to replace the worldwide tariffs that Trump imposed last year that were struck down by the Supreme Court in February. They came just as temporary 10% worldwide tariffs — that had also been challenged in court — expired.

Educational toy company Learning Resources, which was part of the tariff lawsuit that won in the Supreme Court, filed a new suit along with several other small businesses in the Court of International Trade on Friday over the current round of tariffs.

The second lawsuit was filed by Burlap and Barrel, a New York-based spice company, and Collective Horology, a watch retailer based in Ventura, California. They are represented by Liberty Justice Center, a libertarian advocacy group.

Both lawsuits argue that the government didn’t adequately establish its case against each specific economy or spell how the tariffs will eliminate the specified practice they are being levied for, as required by Section 301.

Lol. Commies and fucking libertarian joining hands to eat shit?
Literally amazing. Eat shit commies and neoliberal scum.

both are weird gooning material

Inflation Inflation Inflation, we can't afford anything anymore because of Biden

>double digit tariffs
>war in Iran to cover his pedophilia showing them for free they have a huge lever to pull anytime they want to fuck up energy prices

This is great! High prices don't matter anymore! Look over here at these fake job reports and inflation numbers
>>
>>1525632
those businesses are a threat against the state and need to be investigated for illegal labor practices. unless they're food and sex companies in which case its fine.
>>
>>1525690
Because baby doesn’t like tariffs?!
>>
>>1525727
the world economy doesn't like tariffs.
>>
>>1525729
It’s okay to be a baby, Anon. Just whine elsewhere.
>>
>>1525731
yes, Anon, trump is an orange 80 year old baby
>>
>>1525632
So will it take another fucking year of everybody getting robbed to overturn this time, or can somebody actually halt this obviously illegal bullshit while it goes through the courts?
The reason they didn't use Section 301 in the first place is because it has too many restrictions and isn't for putting blanket taxes on all imports, they just keep shifting the same shit to different statutes without following any of the rules because they know it'll take the glacial legal system forever to catch up and they can just keep repeating it over and over. Fucking clown world shit.
>>
>>1525742
You seem to have misunderstood something. The end goal is to lose in court. Everything is working as intended. Since the presidency can't just print money from nothing because Congress controls the purse strings, they've figured out a work around for dumping money into corporations. The presidency slaps on tariffs. Corporations use the widely publicized tariffs to jack up prices without losing as many customers as they normally would. SCOTUS knocks shit down. The tariff money gets paid back meaning a giant corporate payoff that gridlock in Congress can't block. Prices stay high afterward. And as an added bonus, smaller companies get driven out of business and scooped up by larger ones.

It's the perfect storm of right wing policy initiatives. For a small period of increased costs that are getting passed onto consumers anyway corporations get a giant bailout, a higher price floor, and less competition, and the presidency is doing all that with stroke of a pen.
>>
>>1525744
The moral of the story is we need price fixing laws to stop this price gouging, and to nationalize certain industries.
If capitalism wants to be this brazenly corrupt, it's time to reign it in big time.
>>
>>1525742
Nobody was calling "obvious illegal bullshit" when it was Biden slapping a 100% tariff on EVs
>>
>>1525767
you mean using tariffs like a scalpel? they have their place. trump is a fag who applies it globally.

>>1525764
moral of the story is when a business gets hit overnight with a double-triple digit % tariff, they raise the price to offset that. dont apply blanket tariffs and this shit wont happen.
>>
'We will fail in this endeavor if the free countries do not continue their reduction of the barriers which they themselves impose on their trade with each other'
Dwight D. Eisenhower proves that 1525727 1525731 is a baby that doesn't like facts as well as no tariffs.
>>
>>1525771
>Price gouging is bad
>But they should be allowed to do it.
>And the entire market will collude as well so so the free market fails, again
Thanks capitalism
>>
>>1525776
no tariff, no price increase. simple as.
>>
>>1525778
I agree that tariffs increase prices. Bold, I know. Next I'll agree that water is wet and fire is hot.
But I think we're past the point that not having tariffs wouldn't still see price increases. Everything is so monopolized and so many corporations work together that they can and will set whatever fucking price they want, and we just have to pay it or not have the product at all. Like, have you heard of dynamic pricing? Holy fucking SHIT, how is that even a little bit legal? We don't just need a government that doesn't start stupid-ass trade wars for no reason, we need a government that brings these companies in line. Break up monopolies, end lobbying, make anti-trust a thing again.
And for the record, Biden was doing some of that. Not enough, but some. Nobody paid attention because people were paid to make sure they wouldn't, and it's part of why the corpos all threw money at Trump.
>>
>>1525778
We should still do price control and start nationalizing certain industries anyway.
>>
>>1525782
I believe industries essential to our survival should be nationalized. Health, food, etc. We either get this stuff or we fucking die, this should not be something controlled by businesses who just want to make money. The purpose of a government is to protect and serve it's people, and if those people are dying because they can't afford to go to the doctor then it's not doing it's job.
That said, that's predicated on our government NOT being completely corrupt and controlled by those businesses. Wresting control of essential services from greedy corporations and putting them into the hands of a government controlled by those same greedy corporations is just adding a step and accomplishing nothing.
>>
>>1525776
The main problem with capitalism is that Democrat activists and voter do not understand that the government owns vast regulatory power and that punitive taxes are passed to consumers in the neoliberal hellscape of an economy we have.
Raising taxes and communsim/socialism are both red herrings designed to distract from those regulatory powers.
Walmart wants you to raise taxes instead of treat them like a monopoly, because they'll simply pass taxes to their consumers causing inflation which is actually a good thing if you're carrying debt.
Coomunism is just fucking retarded shit for idiots who want to be enslaved. If you want to be a communist so bad just go to prison.
>>1525782
>>
>>1525788
Additionally the only way to affect any positive economic change that benefits people with the current system in place is to slam taxes to the floor for businesses. Personally I think that's a good thing, since taxation is theft and even paying 1% of my income is nuts.
>>
>>1525782
Healthcare, Natural gas, and Electricity are price capped.
The problem is, it likely takes a few greased palms and a few false studies in the US for a company to have them raised.
End lobbying.
That and liggerals are fucking retarded Chinese assets that attempt to cause as much pain to the energy sector as possible.
>>
>>1525767
Biden actually had a plan. He was trying to encourage Americans to build and buy their own damn EVs instead of having the market get completely swamped in Chinese shit. You know, the sort of thing tariffs are actually for.
>>
>>1525791
Probably not a Biden plan perse, but yes, this was good policy,
I also believe that's why his admin did nothing about the tariffs. Because despite the upcoming election propaganda, fariffs do work.
Evidence: USMCA not being renewed will return some manufacturing back to the US.
>>
>>1525796
Properly target tariffs combined with proper incentives work. Blanketing the entire market while justifying it with a schizophrenic series of incoherent or downright ludicrous reasons does not.
>>
>>1525790
>Healthcare, Natural gas, and Electricity are price capped.
Should be price capped.
>>
I can really tell the non-Americans in these threads.

President Trump has been in office only 18 months and already prices are lower across the board, the economy is booming, and every working American has recieved their tariff rebate check.
>>
>>1525798
>Properly target tariffs combined with proper incentives work. Blanketing the entire market while justifying it with a schizophrenic series of incoherent or downright ludicrous reasons does not.
I think billionaires disagree thus the activism surrounding tariffs. They don't want to pay them for importing shit.
And you'd be right in a non-resource rich country. But there isn't a major resource the US doesn't have that it needs to import.
>>
>>1525800
Easy to recognize your own, huh?
>>
>>1525801
>I think billionaires disagree thus the activism surrounding tariffs.
Are you fucking kidding me? These tariffs have sent prices through the roof and everyone hates it. You don't need billionaire money to complain about that.
>And you'd be right in a non-resource rich country. But there isn't a major resource the US doesn't have that it needs to import.
We don't build any of our stuff and have to import it all. That's ostensibly, supposedly what these tariffs are supposed to do, bring manufacturing back to the US because we don't have any.
>>
I can really tell the non-Americans in these threads.
Migger esl shills such as 1525800 glazing in a board that'll really humiliate it once the orange subhuman it lies for is denied the right to political power after the Midterm Massacre.
Democrats being elected since late 2025 by now ex-Republicans who are more American than 1525800. Certainly more loyal to a country than an orange subhuman that doesn't care about its voters will ever be.
>>
>>1525827
>These tariffs have sent prices through the roof and everyone hates it
You're on crack you stupid faggot.
The tariffs have done no such thing and I'm tired of you fucking retards. Eat a whole bag of shit.
>We don't build any of our stuff and have to import it all
Minus the words "have to".
Thus my point you wholely stupid fucking bitch.
Cant' ever talk to a liggeral without them being fuckinig idiotic. Like are you fucking 12 you dumb ass?
>>
>>1525842
>You're on crack you stupid faggot.
I'm not even going to read further than this. Yes, retard, the tariffs did raise prices, and yes, dumbass, everyone does hate it. Are you going to argue that the sun doesn't rise in the east next? Either pull your head out of your ass or shove it in deeper and suffocate so we don't have to listen to your stupid-ass denial of reality.
>>
>>1525842
i guess all the emails i got a year ago from pissed off customers for raising my prices was makebelieve. i guess my prices rising and not lowering them is makebelieve. i guess getting back my tariff money that my customers paid instead of myself is makebelieve.
>>
>>1525843
>Yes, retard, the tariffs did raise prices
Through the roof though? No. That's fucking horseshit and you fucking know it.
>>
>>1525844
Yes, you don't own shit. And if you did you'd understand that ALL taxes are passed to consumers and not advocate for Democrats.
Either that or you're an idiot who inherited a business.
>>
>>1525845
>Your non-specific idiom is WRONG!!
God damn, you have fucking nothing. Deeper, please.
>>
>>1525847
>Deeper, please.
Here's fucking deeper, you retarded fucking bitch.
There is no single resource the US *needs* to import. We have cast amounts of resources.
>Buh, buh we import shit from China!!
That hasn't always been the case. China is a economic predator and has ensured it's lead as a manufacturing powerhouse. We import shit from China because China has invested in production.
Anyone who understands history knows that the US was a leading producer of everything not so long ago.
So you're pointing to one of the core problems with the US economy as being one of it's core problems, but twisting it to say "No we can't".
When in fact the answer is "Yes we can!"
Are billionaires actively trying to seek out cheaper goods? Yes, unless you suck the cock of the billionaire you know this to be true.
You are on their side. They paid billions to make you this fucking unapologetically dumb.
>>
>>1525799
Are capped. If you're unaware of this go sit in a fucking corner and shut the shit up.
>>
>>1525849
>we
LOL
also, ask the last nation that tried autarky how it worked
>>
>>1525851
>autarky
So,China? It's working so great for them they have excessive amounts of stuff to sell.
>>
>>1525852
so you're from china then? a better example is north korea, don't parasites sound like fun. nazi germany also tried it, to much avail, right?
>>
>>1525853
What are you on about you fucking cracklord?
Sit in the corner and suck your thumb you retarded pissbaby.
>>
esl shill is so hostile all of the sudden. hmm
>>
>>1525856
I'm speaking logical truths and your retort is pissbaby bullshit. When the adults are speaking you should just sht the fuck up and play makebelieve with your girldick, retard.

This is what republican cultists actually believe.

And Democultists believe they could never be tricked and everything the do is a moral imperative.

>I can't produce any survey showing a majority of Americans believe in my views, but trust me they secretly believe them
>>
>>1525871
What?
>>
>>1525869
That's not how this works. There are many crooked Democrats, as I fully admit. Biden was an asshat for decades and Pelosi was as crooked as they come.

What is shown is that Trump, Maga, and all the neocon republicans since the Powell memo exist for the rich oligarchs (not you, your family, your community) and aim to destroy this nation not save it.

Democrats aren't perfect by any means, just not THIS bad.
>>
>>1525871
Trump winning is enough evidence
>>
>>1525892
>Democrats aren't perfect by any means, just not THIS bad.
Democrats are exactly that fucking bad. That's why I'm usually complaining about NAFTA, and ACA. Just because you're too retarded to make the connection just means you're retarded.

He won because nobody knew who Khamala Harris was

>>1525898
And if people knew, she would've gotten even less votes.
>>
>>1525897
Democrat or Republican it doesn't matter anymore. Jump get Trump and his cabal OUT.
>>
>>1525902
Associating with trump should be political suicide, yes, agreed, fine. But who fucking continues to support him time and again. You had a woman who pitched tax cuts for small business owners, first time parents, and first time home buyers to elevate the middle class, versus a sundowning lunatic who raved about immigrants eating pets and whined like a bitch when she made a valid accusation that he used AI to exaggerate his crowd sizes.

Democrat. Democrat is the answer, because we have a shitty two party system. If you can find a non maga republican, who is actually popular enough to unseat the croney capitalist incumbent, then be my fucking guest.

But you won't because the VP literally compared trump to hilter, implying today's enemies are just tomorrow's gimp's if you flash enough money and power, and none of you motherfuckers remember, because your brains are swiss fucking cheese trained to selectively forget inconvenient facts. The right has proved time and again that even if they stand up to maga publicly, they will toe the party line privately. Look at what they say vs. how they vote.

No you fucking dipshits, both sides are not even close to the same, corpo establishment dems are leagues better than Agent Mandarin Orange literally handing over our role as peacekeepers in the middle east THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR THE FUCKING PETRODOLLAR, THE BACKBONE OF OUR FUCKING ECONOMY, to our biggest rival China. You got ass-fucked, and you're acting like smug morons because now you're being used as condoms to fuck the rest of us.

By all fucking means, vote for and push social dems at the state and local levels, we are making great strides and might be able to take the party back. But what fucking hope are you clinging to for the republican party?

Also, most of that tirade was not directed at you, it was at the dipshit shills peppering the board.
>>
>>1525902
What's funny is if democrats take the house and senate, impeaching Donald Trump would not make them happy.
>>
>as King Leonidas would say in his Laconically Witty way, ' If. '
What's funnier still is when Democrats take the house and senate, impeaching Donald Trump would not make the Republicans and miggers happy. Thus making Democrats happier.
>>
>>1525925
The problem is I was told that trump would be successfully impeached multiple times before
I was told he would be impeached for colluding with Russia, for his phone call with Ukraine, for January 6th. But none of those impeachments actually removed him from office so it's hard to believe "this time we really mean it and we will really get rid of Trump I promise guys"
>>
1525928
The problem is that Trump will have no power after November. The Democrats will still be able to politically roast what'll become lame duck a l'orange in any & every way possible. And judging by this:
>>1525859
It would be better for the Republicans to aid in the impeachment of what'll be their orange liability and Liar-in-Chief if they don't want to be politically destroyed between this November and that two years from now. A complete purge of anything & everything MAGA in the GOP.
>>
>>1525932
How did that work for the Democrats who voted for Bill Clintons impeachment in the 90s?
I'm not sure impeaching the president of your party works well. Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney aren't perceived as the future of the party.
>>
>>1525850
Yet they're still allowed to price gouge, why are conservatives this corrupt?
>>
1525933
The Democrats still exist to this day, and are winning elections since late 2025.
And unless they aid the Democrats in impeaching that which is destroying them - an orange subhuman - the Republicans have no future. Good
It's either the absolute extinction of MAGA & everything it represents, or face their own extinction.
>>
tariffs are good actually, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. we are going to become a stronger country because of this, we just need copypasta cunts like >>1525938 to die
>>
Tariffs are only bad if you're on the receiving end. Ask Canada's dairy cartels.
>>
>>1525938
The Republicans still exist to this day and are winning elections since 2024, which is why they have the House, the Senate and the Presidency
The Republicans have a future. So do the Democrats.
If Trump lead to the extinction of the Republican party, Trump wouldn't be president, and he wouldn't have lead the Republicans to controlling every branch of power in Washington DC
>>
1525953
The Democrats still exist to this day and are winning elections since 2025 at the expense of the Republicans, due to an ultra-corrupt so-called 'president' that doesn't actually care about its voters, which is why they soon won't have the House & the Senate after early November, and thus the Presidency after early January 2029.
The Republicans have no future. But the Democrats do.
>Democrats winning elections since late 2025: precisely because of Trump
>If Trump lead to the extinction of the Republican party
As King Leonidas would say in his Laconically Witty way, ' If. '
>the desperation of miggers reduced to impotently posting before the Midterm Massacre, thinking it will somehow bend reality to their will: when it won't, as proved by Democrats winning elections since late 2025
You love to see it.

>>1525744

check'd and glad to see someone else paying attention willing to post here. see what the bots do with it now, lmao
>>
no tariffs are better, what kills Trump politically makes the Democrats stronger. USA will become stronger after the weak Trump is gone because it forgot about the trade policy of the last decent Republican president: Eisenhower.
And because violent conservatives such as 1525946 prove their inferiority
>we
Hi, inferior esl shill.
>>
>>1525789
I agree for small businesses. Mom and pop's grocery does not need to be taxed like Safeway. Reduce the taxes on small businesses and stop giving Walmart tax breaks because they open up another huge ShartMart
>>
>>1525800
Bot post
Where is my tariff check
>>
>>1526025
It's like asking where your tax return check is
You need to pay taxes to get a tax return
You need to pay tariffs to get a tariff return
If you're not importing anything you're not paying tariffs
