China hits back at Canada with fresh agriculture tariffs

A decline in the economy will have to be countered with lowering of interest rates, and that maybe what Trump was trying to do, before June when much of the next tranche of debt payments will have to be refinanced or not.

Trump administration sued over Chinese import tariffs

April 3 (Reuters) - New Civil Liberties Alliance, a conservative legal group, on Thursday filed what it said was the first lawsuit seeking to block Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports, saying the U.S. president overstepped his authority.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida, alleges that Trump lacked the legal authority to impose the sweeping tariffs unveiled on Wednesday as well as duties authorized on February 1 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

“By invoking emergency power to impose an across-the-board tariff on imports from China that the statute does not authorize, President Trump has misused that power, usurped Congress’s right to control tariffs, and upset the Constitution’s separation of powers," NCLA senior litigation counsel Andrew Morris said in a statement.

White House representatives did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

NCLA filed the lawsuit on behalf of Simplified, a Florida-based retailer of home management products.

Trump on Wednesday announced that China would be hit with a 34% tariff, on top of the 20% he imposed earlier this year, bringing the total new levies to 54%.

The lawsuit asks a judge to block implementation and enforcement of the tariffs and undo Trump's changes to the U.S. tariff schedule.

The lawsuit says presidents can only impose tariffs with Congress' permission and under complex trade statutes spelling out how and when they can be authorized.

"Such statutes require advance investigations, detailed factual findings, and a close fit between the statutory authority and a tariff’s scope," the lawsuit says.


The law Trump invoked has never been used to impose tariffs and only allows presidents to take actions that are necessary to address a specific emergency, the lawsuit said.

Trump has declared an emergency over China's alleged complicity in the U.S. opioid epidemic, framing tariffs as a negotiating tool for ending the influx of the deadly drugs.

The lawsuit says that justification is a pretext for imposing tariffs aimed at reducing U.S. trade deficits while raising tax revenue.

The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Kent Wetherell, a Trump appointee who had halted a key part of former President Joe Biden's immigration policy in 2023.

China Halts Approvals for New US Investment Projects

According to a Bloomberg report cited by Investing.com, China has introduced new limitations affecting its local companies planning investments in the United States.

People familiar with the situation indicate that branches of the National Development and Reform Commission have been told to stop processing applications for new US-focused investment projects, potentially escalating economic friction between the two nations.

This move coincides with President Trump increasing tariffs and planning further reciprocal measures likely aimed at China, according to the original report. While Beijing has previously restricted certain overseas investments citing national security or capital control concerns, Bloomberg suggests this latest directive indicates a more significant level of scrutiny.

Importantly, these new restrictions reportedly do not affect existing Chinese investments in the U.S., such as holdings of U.S. Treasuries, or the current operations of Chinese companies there.

The resulting uncertainty may make it harder for companies looking to relocate production facilities to circumvent growing trade barriers. The report notes that some businesses, like Hong Kong’s CK Hutchison Holdings, have already encountered difficulties related to China’s stricter examination of outbound investments.

This policy shift occurs against a backdrop where Chinese investment into the U.S. had already decreased by 5.2% in 2023. These new approval suspensions highlight the increasing difficulties companies face when managing cross-border operations during the escalating trade dispute between the world’s two largest economies.

If China is going to negotiate with USA for the tariff.

Before that, China must retaliate against the USA as forcefully as possible.

If China comes to the negotiating table wearing nothing but underwear while the USA arrives in a full suit, China will lose its underwear and go home naked—while the USA only sheds a jacket.

That would be humiliating for China.

For now, it’s better to strike back as hard as possible, creating problems out of thin air and stockpiling every possible advantage.
 
Maybe he doesn't want to pay on foreign debts, wants write off from China.
That is something he has mentioned he wants to do; have the debt written off.
 
The world as we knew it is dead. The US is increasingly acting like a dying empire.
