Greer: Trump's 10% global tariff may be re imposed after it expires in July

--

According to The Wall Street Journal, US Trade Representative Greer said on Tuesday local time that President Trump's 10% global tariff may be re imposed after it expires in July. The tariff is levied under Article 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, with a maximum duration of 150 days, and was originally planned to be replaced by a new tariff after its expiration in July. Greer said that the regulations do not specify whether the president can restart tariffs after expiration, but there may be relevant powers. He did not specify whether the government would seek to extend tariffs, but said it was "unimaginable" for Congress to restrict the president from using that power only once per term.
