Trump imposes fresh tariffs on more than 80 countries, drawing protests from US allies and trading partners
Donald Trump has imposed a fresh round of tariffs on more than 80 countries to replace a 10% global duty that was due to expire, provoking a wave of criticism and protests from US allies and major trading partners. In the latest attempt to instate aggressive trade policies despite challenges from the US supreme court, the president has imposed tariffs of between 10% or 12.5% on dozens of countries. Alan Wolff, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and the former deputy director-general of the World Trade Organization, wrote in an analysis on Thursday that the latest tariffs 'again raise the question of whether the president has the legal authority to determine and implement US tariff policy -- an authority that the constitution vests in Congress.'
