According to CNBC, President Donald Trump's near-global tariff policy is being challenged again in federal court as a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade in Manhattan hears arguments from small businesses and Democratic-led states that say the administration's Section 301 tariffs exceed the law. The tariffs impose 10% or 12.5% rates on goods from 86 countries and cover 99.4% of U.S. imports. The administration says the duties were imposed because the targeted countries failed to effectively enforce bans on trade in goods produced with forced labor. The challenge argues the White House used the forced-labor rationale as a pretext to restore a worldwide tariff regime that was previously struck down. The Supreme Court in February struck down Trump's reciprocal tariffs unveiled in April 2025, forcing his administration to refund more than $100 billion. Trump later told Fox News that the Section 301 tariffs are doing the same thing as the measures the court invalidated.
