U.S. trade representative says "we expect to stand by" trade deals after Supreme Court ruling

Will you ask Congress to legislate tariffs and if so, which ones? So again, thanks for having me on. And right now it's important to understand that over the years, Congress has delegated enormous tariff setting authority to the President depending on the situation. So even though the Supreme Court struck down tariffs under one authority, tariffs under other national security elements remain in place. Tariffs under what we call section 301 related to unfair trading practices remain in place. (00:45–00:52)
