Hassett says he’s ‘very confident’ that courts will uphold Trump’s tariffs
The White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett expressed confidence on Sunday that the administration will be able to move forward with its tariff agenda despite recent legal challenges. Hassett stated that the administration is optimistic that the judges will uphold the law, and they believe that their current plan will be successful.
The administration faced a setback when a court order blocked President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but an appeals court reinstated them this week. The decision from the appeals court is currently in effect, allowing the tariffs to remain in place.
The initial injunction against Trump’s tariffs was based on the argument that the administration’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not grant the president the authority to impose “unlimited” tariffs. The White House contended that the court order could disrupt their ongoing negotiations and hinder their progress.
