What is the status of these tariffs legally? I think there was a nationwide injunction against them, IIRC, but then the Supreme Court said no nationwide injunctions -- so would the tariffs continue to apply to all non-parties, or is this a case where complete relief requires nationwide relief. If there's a plaintiff that isn't an importer but rather a downstream buyer, it could argue that any tariffs that increase the price they pay would injure them, thus they would have standing.

But maybe the supreme court stayed the injunction. I can't even keep track any more.

Pretty sure it was stayed by circuit court or supreme court (or maybe even district court). I think there was some period of time before the order was supposed to go into effect.

"Why make a deal with a man who will surely break it?"

This should be the basic question EVERYONE "dealing" with Trump should ask. Foreign countries, Republicans, Democrats, the media, universities, lawyers, judges, government workers, the markets, and most importantly, the American people, should be skeptical of anything and everything that comes out of Trump's McPie Hole.
 
I have no issue with the government looking at stuff we would need to produce for national security reasons.
I doubt that applies to very many of the countries for which we are adding tariffs.
And if this is about national security, adding tariffs seems like a really dumb way to go about it.

$10,000 for an electric car? China is going to bury us. We're getting left behind, and Trump is making it much worse.

Ford CEO Jim Farley didn’t mince words at the recent Aspen Ideas Festival, describing China’s rapid rise in the electric vehicle (EV) market as the “most humbling experience” of his career.

"Their cost, their quality of their vehicles is far superior to what I see in the west." Farley said.

That is a cool example but doesn’t have anything to do with the issue discussed. Toilet paper shortages were often drive by hoarding. China shut off the shipments of crucial materials out of its country.

While true when trump announced that tariffs over 100% with China, people reacted the same way, Costco was out of TP for two weeks. I just laughed that the people must believe we get out TP from China.
