WASHINGTON -- When the Supreme Court killed his favorite tariffs in February, President Donald Trump promptly rolled out temporary import taxes to replace them. But those stopgap levies expire in less than three months.

Now the administration is scrambling to put more durable tariffs in place to keep revenue flowing into the U.S. Treasury and to shore up the president’s protectionist wall around the American economy.

Starting this week, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative will begin hearings in two investigations that are expected to lead to a new round of U.S. tariffs — taxes paid by importers in the United States and usually passed on via higher prices to consumers who are already fed up with the high cost of living.

Trump’s newest tariff push is sure to face more challenges in court but is likely to prove sturdier than the one the Supreme Court tossed out.

7. It seems

no matter what I buy, the "new" prices are mind boggling........So now they are going to refund some of the tariff's they have collected.............But only to the Corporations.................SCREW US !!!!!!!!!! The corporations have already collected higher prices, and now they will also get the tariff they paid back???????????? A true Win-Win by the corporations. AND, you can bet their prices will not go down, and they will continue collecting their Republican hidden bonuses for some time to come....
A total resetting of the Corporate profits of "Capitalism" in the U.S.

The Republicans should already rename the United States of America, to THE UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA.....

(ALL blown wide open with the Republican's U.S. Supreme Court's CITIZENS UNITED decision in 2010......which was the final nail in the coffin for Democracy in the U.S. BTW: The simplest definition of FASCISM is the merger of Corporations and Government!)

8. "We can't call them tariffs or taxes."

“So I’ll call them ‘price adjustments’ and that will make it all legit, okay?”
