Trump to Unveil New Tariff Probes

“The Trump administration is preparing to announce new tariff investigations that could result in higher levies on a litany of nations over what the U.S. deems as unfair trade practices,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The investigations, which were expected to be unveiled as soon as Wednesday, will be initiated under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to levy tariffs against nations that discriminate against U.S. firms or commerce.”
