About this episode

The episode discusses the Trump administration's strategy to rebuild its tariff regime following a Supreme Court ruling.

Since the Supreme Court struck down the White House’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose unilateral tariffs, the Trump administration has moved quickly to preserve its economic leverage by pivoting to other trade authorities, including temporary duties under Section 122 and broader investigations under Sections 301 and 232. Our team unpacks how this strategy is taking shape, where the greatest risks now lie and what business leaders can do to protect their interests.
