WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is going ahead with new double-digit tariffs on dozens of U.S. trading partners just as the clock runs out Friday on stopgap levies he imposed after a stinging defeat at the Supreme Court.

The United States will slap taxes of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners accounting for 99% of U.S. imports, charging that they have inadequately enforced bans on goods produced by forced labor.

    Didn’t we have a Supreme Court case that ruled this was illegal?

    Too bad there’s no enforcement, I guess.

      They’re using a different law to enact these is my understanding. Might have the same outcome, but for now it’s this.
