The U.S. is not projecting any changes to the tariff revenue it will take this year as President Trump is reissuing tariffs the Supreme Court struck down under different legal authority, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday.
Mr. Bessent said the Supreme Court’s ruling was narrowly tailored to block tariffs issued under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act and the administration has other tariff authority it can cite to accomplish its goals.
“The president, the administration remains undeterred in reshoring American factories and getting rid of these massive trade imbalances,” Mr. Bessent said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Mr. Trump has announced a 15% global tariff issued under section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. That authority is valid for 150 days, after which it would have to be renewed by Congress.
Mr. Besset said there may not be a need for Congress to vote on tariffs because the administration is using the “five-month bridge” to conduct investigations needed to impose the tariffs under a longer-lasting authority.
