Podcasts about section 232

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we delve into the legal complexities of President-Elect Trump's proposed tariffs. Jessica Levinson explores how power over foreign commerce has shifted from Congress to the President, highlighting key laws like the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934 and the Trade Act of 1974. The episode also covers President Biden's controversial pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, examining the constitutional power of presidential pardons, historical precedents, and political implications. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Congressional Abdication of Trade Powers: Jessica Levinson points out that Congress has gradually ceded its constitutional authority to regulate foreign commerce to the executive branch over the past century. 2️⃣ Legal Hurdles for Trump's Proposed Tariffs: Despite President-elect Trump's promises to impose sweeping tariffs on countries like Mexico, Canada, and China, there are significant legal and procedural hurdles to clear. These include mandatory investigations by the Department of Commerce, and potential court challenges under doctrines like the major questions doctrine and nondelegation doctrine.3️⃣ Presidential Pardons and Political Implications: The episode delves into President Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, explaining the broad and exclusive presidential power to grant pardons for federal crimes.

Commerce proposes to modify its section 232 exclusion process again. Comments are due Oct 12. Listen to today's Two Minutes In Trade for details.

In June 2018, the US Trump administration introduced tariffs on European steel and aluminium exports, starting a long-time dispute between the two trade partners. On 31 October 2021, the European Union and the United States agreed on temporary measures to settle their dispute over US Section 232 ‘national security' tariffs on EU steel and aluminium products. In addition to opening tariff rate quotas for historical EU export volumes, the joint EU-US statement mandates negotiations on a “global steel and aluminium arrangements to restore market-oriented conditions and address carbon intensity”, with a deadline of 31 October 2023. As this deadline approaches, negotiators from Brussels and Washington are scrambling to get a deal. At the same time the discussions have been overlapping with the broader goals of supporting the green transition and need to be considered against the backdrop of the geopolitical rivalry between the USA and China.  In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro invites Kimberly Clausing and David Kleimann to disentangle the ongoing negotiations and explore the legal, diplomatic and economic consequences of these negotiations through a transatlantic perspective. Relevant publication: Kleimann, D. (2023) ‘Section 232 reloaded: the false promise of the transatlantic ‘climate club' for steel and aluminium', Working Paper 11/2023, Bruegel This research output received funding from Pool Fund on International Energy (PIE), within the European Climate Foundation.

This week, the One Voice team meets to discuss the Congressional agenda when Congress returns from recess including the upcoming Appropriations fight that could lead to another government shutdown. The team then pivots to the Administration's Unified Regulatory Agenda and its impact on manufacturers and also a surprising deal struck during Prime Minister Modi's visit to Washington to end a trade dispute centered on the Sec 232 steel and aluminum tariffs.

So have the section 232 tariffs been successful in reducing imports, increasing domestic capacity and shores up national security?  Listen for details on today's Two Minutes In Trade.

The United States imposed additional duties of 25% ad valorem on steel imports into the country. Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 imposed additional duties. Several provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ('GATT') were violated, most notably the security exception in Article XXI. The US argued that the measures were justified under GATT Article XXI (b)(iii), which allows a WTO Member to take measures necessary to protect its essential security interests. The panel determined that this did not negate the requirement that such action be taken in accordance with the conditions and circumstances specified in clause XXI. The panel in Russia – Traffic in Transit has also explained what might constitute an 'essential security interest ‘While it has recognized that every Member has the discretion to define what it considers to be its essential security interests, it has drawn a red line by stating that this does not mean that a Member is free to elevate any concern to that of an 'essential security interest', and the designation of any concern as an essential security interest must be in 'good faith ‘In this context, the panel's ruling in Russia – Traffic in Transit set an important precedent for the present dispute in holding that the measure must be connected and be plausible in relation to the essential security interest articulated by the defending Member. This excess capacity, according to the US, constituted an 'emergency in international relations'. The panel further held that the Section 232 steel and aluminum reports issued by the US Department of Commerce did not identify or address the existence of an 'emergency in international relations'. It was expected that the US Government would tone down its nihilistic rhetoric towards the multilateral trading system and withdraw measures that seemingly violate WTO law. The US is quite likely to appeal the panel report to the Appellate Body, which ironically, the US has driven to the ground.Audio Source: An article published on the LKS website in December 2022Playing on the wrong side – United States' Section 232 measures held inconsistent with WTO law | Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan Attorneys (lakshmisri.com)Author: Jayant Raghu Ram, Partner (LKS)

The United States and the EU have agreed to Section 232 revisions that take effect on 1 January 2022. The new agreement is much like the quota-and-tariff “safeguard” regime already in place in Europe. A certain tonnage may be imported from the EU to the United States tariff-free. After the quota fills, additional tons face a 25% tariff. What will this do to steel prices? How about supply? John Mothersole and John Anton discuss the changes this policy shift will have on markets, manufacturers, and metals buyers.

Interview with Brandon Munro, CEO of Bannerman Resources the Namibian Uranium explorer. He joins us to talk us through his recent article about the implication of Section 232. And also tells us how the WNA Fuel Report is put together and why he thinks this year is a better format that the last edition."More than 60% of newly-mined Uranium around the world now comes from state-owned enterprises that unfriendly nations control. The once robust American Uranium mining industry is disappearing because of a flood of state-subsidised imports has made that competition impossible." UR Energy & Energy Fuels.If you are reviewing Uranium strategies and wonder if you should invest in Uranium, the 5 points made by Brandon Munro are worth understanding. He gives an in-depth explanation in this interview. Here are the 5 points:1. Likely Outcomes. There ain't none - It's all up in the air and it's a big geopolitical topic 2. Investors must have a balanced perspective - commercial realities and natural bias come to play.3. There are several plausible scenarios, not just quotas - domestic quotas, Quota with allies, Tariffs, No Trade Action, Department of Defence Procurement, Quota for US-controlled Uranium. Or all of the above.4. All outcomes lead to a strengthening of the Uranium market - but pick wisely, because mining is still mining, even when it is Uranium5. The enduring legacy of Section 232 petition - Geopolitics has come under the spot light and whatever the short-term gain in the Uranium industry the implications of which sides countries picked with linger.Make smarter investment decisions, subscribe here: https://www.cruxinvestor.comFor FREE unbiased investment information, follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn:https://twitter.com/cruxinvestorhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/crux-investor/Take advantage, hear it here first: https://www.youtube.com/CRUXinvestor

7/30/2018 - Media often speaks of trade as if it is partitioned off from the rest of US interests including many major areas like national security, human rights and climate. Of course, these things (and many, many more) are all deeply intertwined. Sadly, that is a level of complexity which is well beyond the capacity of Trump. In this show Arliss talks not about the specific daily news around trade but about the legal underpinnings and, in particular, how the work of the Trump administration to break down the rule of law is threatening to US national security. Will's deep dive this week is on how large media organizations, in this case the BBC, are abusing fair use to get small media sites pulled down from YouTube. This is made more insidious by the fact that the appeal process on YouTube is handled by AI and not actual humans so organizations like Wings Over Scotland simply go "poof". Will mentioned Phantom Power, a Scottish new media group that makes documentary films about Scottish politics, and their short film Altered State, as well as the fact that Murray Foote, the man behind The Vow, a promise to Scotland discussed in the film, has now become a supporter of Scottish Independence. At the top of the show Arliss comments on the Democrats new slogan:  For the People. She also gives a very brief update on recovery from the 2017 California fires in light of the new and massive blazes burning. Will brings some good news about community response to a hate crime in Toledo. Will is out of the country next week but we should be back on the 13th of August. Many Carrots! - Arliss

In March, as President Trump imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, he said that “trade wars are good and easy to win.” Following the president’s tariffs, Canada, Mexico, the EU, and other allies retaliated against the U.S., primarily targeting agricultural exports. The trade war is already threatening the livelihoods of thousands of factory workers, farmers, and ranchers. And that threat is growing and spreading daily.Join us for a discussion on the real impacts of the tariffs, and what the retaliation means for Americans.
