“Ultimately, the new Section 301 tariffs appear to be yet another attempt to give the president a blank check to impose tariffs at will. The same is true of the administration’s plans to use Section 301 to target ‘structural excess capacity,’ which rely on the absurd premise that it is somehow an unfair trade practice for countries to be able to produce more goods than they can use themselves.” (06/04/26)
