Trump Gets Introduced to Section 301 || Mar. 17, 2026
The Supreme Court ruled Trump's tariffs were illegal, forcing the administration to do things...the right way. Welcome to Section 301 investigations.
This is the slower and more legally structured process of issuing tariffs run by the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Reminder that the USTR has been gutted, so they lack the staff to juggle multiple investigations. Especially since NAFTA renegotiations are just kicking off.

Are we going to 301 the penguins again? 'Cause those penguins have been on their high horse long enough. 🐧
Imagine if speed limits were like that. Where you had to build a case for it. In some places it’s not and can be lowered arbitrarily.
I can’t get past the Chris Isaak hair Peter. It’s fabulous at that length. Werk.
So did the tariffs stop right after the court ruling? Or are we still paying them until the lower courts hear every case and force each one to stop?
Compliments of Claude: All IEEPA-based tariffs terminated at 12:00 am Eastern time on February 24, 2026 — four days after the ruling. The ruling only struck down IEEPA tariffs. Tariffs imposed under Section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act remain in place, including tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles. Trump announced he would go "in a different direction," announcing an immediate 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which he then raised to 15%. However, Section 122 tariffs must end in 150 days unless Congress votes to extend them
Man baby meets poetic justice.
The word "No", frightens a lot of frankly, spoiled children...
I believe this all was assumed with the tariffs as an excuse for big business to raise prices. Now that the tariffs are being lifted I doubt prices will drop. What a grift!
They will drop, but by less than the cost savings
I laughed out loud during the pause, and after the last word of this video.
I thought after "liberation day" we were supposed to have major inflation and a crashing economy??
Close. Ground beef is $7.50 /#
You’d think this would fill the market with a little more optimism but the Trump War in the Middle East is creating too much energy insecurity to matter
Yup. It is sucking all other narratives and in-fact a fair-amount of pretty-good (non-click-bait) news into ... The Chamber. Overload on Trump is harder and harder to avoid.
I’m still paying these goddamned tariffs importing from the UK. When do I get my refund?
If it makes you feel the load has been shared, Scottish farmers have had their grain markets collapse with the down turn in whiskey exports to the US. No one is going to pay them for their troubles either.
And now he asks for those countries to help with Iran, even asking China! No thank you. You can go ahead and burn a billion dollars a day on your own since you've got all that tarrif money now. Ugh!
Congress? Trump don't need no stinking Congress. Pass the tequila. Go for the worm.
Congress has been a useless part of the federal government for most of this century. Most of our "representatives" only objective is to enrich themselves and get re-elected.
So do all of the current tariffs magically go away? If so, when?
Why am I still paying tariffs
u know the answer already.
The rest of the world cares very little about what the orange felon, or his sycophants, do, say or want as there is no thought or planning in anything coming from this admin. When the US, or whatever is left of it in 3 years, decides to put grown ups and non-felons in charge the rest of the world will be paying attention. Until then the US and it's tariffs can kick rocks.
Wait what? "The rest of the world cares very little about what (Trump does)"??? As he's very close to starting WW3, I think they care very much what he does and what "his sycophants" keep allowing him to do.
Trump's "agenda stalled," and a Supreme Court rather emphatic ... "No." Where does He go phrumhir? There WIL🐝something. He'll cause a distraction. Lyk when The Epstein Files media chatter became Hotter than donny was prepared to deal with. Iran ... that's "The New Crisis-Problem." Divert the Media focus ... ... ... 🤨 ... ... ... 🇨🇺 That is My expectation, within weeks. Maybe daze.
We have an idiot surrounded by ass kissing boot lickers. I look forward to this administration becoming a history lesson of what never to do again.
Trump and the Constitution are not natural bedfellows. You can have one or the other. Your choice, America.
He was literally was acting like Oprah "You get a tariff and you get a tariff!" 😂
Tariff ... has only one r ... but two ff ... 😂 ... totally correct ... 😏
He can up the 301s but the 302s are the what pursue him.
I think his first problem is going to be that he will consistently have to say three, zéro, and then one over and over again, and as a Millennial who represents all millennials especially the ones I have not asked to represent, well, I’m here to say that is profoundly impossible. Remember zwei numbers? You need a college degree for that. ٣ numbers? You better be making leches cake.. or else it ain’t happening.
