NEW YORK (AP) — The centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s economic policy — sweeping taxes on global imports — is under legal assault again. The U.S. Court of International Trade is hearing oral arguments Friday in an attempt to overturn the temporary tariffs Trump turned to after the Supreme Court in February struck down his preferred choice — even bigger, even more sweeping tariffs. Defeated at the high court, Trump reached for a stopgap solution — imposing temporary worldwide tariffs under a 1974 trade law. Now two dozen states and some businesses are challenging the president’s authority to impose the new tariffs.
