Later today the US Supreme Court will decide whether Trump’s unilateral tariffs are legal or whether they should have been agreed in advance with Congress.  They are Trump’s signature trade policy, and he claims they have earned the US government around $600bn so far.  They may even force Trump to change how he threatens other nations with tariffs in future.  Or he could simply ignore his own Supreme Court. 

All to discuss with Prof Valerio Poti is an expert on International Trade with UCD.
