    …maybe some clarification…but didn’t the supreme court strike down tarrifs… so why are they still in place for these?

      Supreme Court struck down tariffs enacted by the President under one particular law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Trump used to add tariffs to almost everything coming in from every country.

      There are longstanding tariffs that are authorized by other laws, on specific countries like China, or on specific goods like lumber or steel or vehicles or semiconductors, unaffected by the Supreme Court ruling.

        Ahh…that’s right. I knew there was something simple I was missing… silly me, wishing for an affordable EV before having coffee and making sure Daddy Warbucks consented to my not enriching the oligarchy.

        Thanks for the info, neighbor.
