WASHINGTON, March 28 The US Supreme Court today declined to hear a challenge by steel companies to former President Donald Trump’s 2018 decision to double tariffs on steel imports from Turkey on national security grounds a policy move defended by President Joe Biden’s administration..
US steel importers on Monday filed their reply brief in USP Holdings v. United States, a case in the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit challenging the president s authority to impose tariffs.
Introduction
It has been almost three years since the 25% duties on steel imports and the 10% duties on aluminium imports pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act 1962 were first imposed by Presidential Proclamation 9705 and legal challenges are proliferating and there is renewed legislative interest in Section 232 reform.(1) For those looking for any signs of a swift removal of the duties, the wait continues.
The administration s rapid decision to reinstate the Section 232 duties on aluminium imports from the United Arab Emirates within 13 days of their removal by President Trump upon leaving office shows no haste to change the status quo,(2) and the comment by the new Secretary of Commerce that the duties have been effective signals no imminent decision to change.(3) The government continues to actively defend these broad duties before the reviewing courts and at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in scores of cases questioning various aspects of their legality.
