First, it's already illegal. Second, Trump doesn't recognize international courts. Next, he won't recognize SCOTUS. hedda_foil Aug 2025 #1

Next Question: Can the WTO advise the countries that they don't have to pay the tariffs? no_hypocrisy Aug 2025 #2

The countries don't pay the tariffs, the American people and companies who buy the products. hedda_foil Aug 2025 #3

Foreign products with tariffs are held at US customs and aren't released until the buyer pays the tariff on the goods.
