I heard on the news this AM that the WTO issued a final ruling that

he repeals it he gets the steel states upset and if he keeps it everyone
else gets ****ed.


The WTO may have declared it illegal, but it dont mean poop until
SCOTUS has made its decision. And its going before SCOTUS now.

The Supreme Court has nothing to do with Asian or European tariff
structures. The WTO has given them permission to raise tariffs on US
products like orange juice and finished metal products. This is no
longer a legal question. It is pure politics from her on out. Will he
keep his big steel buddies happy and **** off Florida, California and
Michigan?
