Trump tariffs would still ‘pinch’ consumers even if trade court block holds, economist says

Key Points

A federal trade court blocked a large piece of President Trump’s tariff agenda in a ruling Wednesday.

The Trump administration has signaled more tariffs may be coming for pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, copper and lumber.
