Comicomment: A Tariff Bridge Hanging Over the Legal Abyss

On Friday, the U.S. temporary 10% tariff on most global imports expired. After losing its legal footing on IEEPA tariffs, Washington quickly turned to another tool — Section 122.

Now, it is preparing to use Section 301 to impose new tariffs on 60 countries and regions under the pretext of "forced labor."

By stretching legal boundaries, the U.S. is turning tariffs into a source of global uncertainty.

A bridge built on a cliff may look like a way forward — but it could collapse at any moment.
