JUST IN: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Reacts To SCOTUS Ruling Trump's Emergency Tariffs Illegal

Published | Video Starts at 00:35

Six justices simply ruled that IEEPA authorities cannot be used to raise even $1 of revenue. This administration will invoke alternative legal authorities to replace the IEPA tariffs. We will be leveraging section 232 and section 301 tariff authorities that have been validated through thousands of legal challenges. Treasury's estimates show that the use of Section 122 authority, combined with potentially enhanced Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs, will result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2020. (00:35–00:45)

CLAIM

Asserts that sections 232 and 301 tariff authorities have been validated through legal challenges.
