EconomyDon’t Rebuild the Tariff Wall. Demolish It.
After the Supreme Court struck down the White House’s so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs earlier this year, the administration has pursued other approaches to trade policy that the article also condemns as misguided. Its first replacement was a 10% tariff on nearly all imports for 150 days, but that measure expired last week. Officials were already prepared with another plan. The new policy largely recreates the earlier tariffs through a more creative legal interpretation, and the article warns that its greater durability could make the damage substantially worse.
