Could Trump sidestep new tariff ruling? Fmr. trade rep weighs in
The US Court of International Trade has rejected several of President Trump's tariff policies — particularly his sweeping import taxes against Canada, Mexico, and China — and put a temporary pause on them. The ruling identified some of the "Liberation Day" tariffs imposed on April 2 as illegal, citing them as an example of "unbounded authority" from the Trump administration. Wiley Rein LLP Partner Greta Peisch sits down with the Catalysts team to talk more about the trade court rulings and how Trump officials may go about appealing or circumventing these measures as the administration continues trade negotiations with other countries. Peisch has previously served as counsel for the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) under the Obama and Biden administrations, respectively. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Catalysts here. A federal trade court is ruling that most of the sweeping global tariffs President Trump imposed on April second are illegal, exceeding his authority under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act or IEPA. Goldman Sachs says Trump will likely find other ways to impose those tariffs and that this ruling poses just a minor setback joining us here. We've got Greta Paasche. She is a partner at Wiley Rein and as well a former general counsel at the office of the United States Trade Representative. We also still have Paul with us for the conversation. Greta, it's fantastic to get your insights this morning because uh we are all looking for clarity on what this is going to mean for US trade policy going forward. What is your take on what this ruling means for Trump's tariffs? Well, uh I would agree with um the analysis that you've cited. It's a setback. Um it is a ruling that this authority that the president has relied on, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act or IPA, can't be used in this way for these tariffs. Um it doesn't mean that the uh the president can't find other uh means or authorities to try to implement this policy and it's also just the first step in litigation. Um the administration has already uh filed a motion to stay or or sort of pause the order and has filed uh a motion to appeal. So this is certainly going to see further fights in the courts which uh creates uncertainty as to whether this ruling will hold. Um but at the same time the administration is certainly looking at other avenues to pursue the policy that the president seems to be really dedicated to. Yes, so Greta, where do you see this sort of netting out? Do you see the administration being successful in its attempts at further litigation or do you see them successfully getting their tariffs through through other measures like Section 122, which was suggested to the administration in the ruling? Well, they're certainly going to pursue both avenues. And in the short term, it may be that they use a section 122 that you mentioned in order to uh displace the tariffs that have been removed, particularly those worldwide tariffs that were set at at at least currently at 10%. Um and then at the same time, continue to pursue the um the the courts and and try to make their case that in fact the IEPA does allow the types of tariffs that have been imposed. And I think um as Paul mentioned, a third option is to look to Congress. Um of course, Congress is considering the reconciliation bill right now, um where tax um budget issues are on the table. Um could the the president put um before Congress uh um ideas to expand tariff authorities or put in place some of the pieces of his tariff agenda? You know, possibly. Mhm. And Greta, my co-host for the hour, Paul Gruenwald, has a question for you. Yeah, I think Greta, you partially answered it. I was going to ask you, what's the likelihood that some of this actually uh migrates into Congress? You know, if the president's able to uh invoke IEPA, he's got a got control of the negotiations. But if Congress actually passes the tariff, then I guess they would lose some of that. So how likely do you think that is that we get some tariff action in the Congress or do you think this is going to stay mostly with the executive branch? Well, I think it's, you know, at the end of the day, I think the political calculus is that it would be a really uphill battle even to get all Republicans on board with expanding tariff authority or putting new tariffs in place, right? That's going to be controversial. Um you have uh Republican members of Congress who have expressed concerns about uh the tariff and the tariff policies to date. Um now, uh that doesn't mean that the president won't uh test and and pursue whether there's an openness in Congress to doing so. And I think, you know, I I would just say that uh to your question about sort of seating that authority to Congress, um there's probably lots of different uh legislative scenarios you could think of. Certainly Congress could itself put a 10% tariff in place. It could also put a tariff in place and then leave some discretion through a new statutory authority for the president to raise or lower their tariffs. And Greta, I also want to get your take on this from a negotiation perspective as a former US trade representative yourself. What does a ruling like this do to the president's negotiating power? Well, I think that the administration, one reason that they're going to look rapidly at near-term solutions to reinstate or or uh put back in place these tariffs is to retain that negotiating leverage. This is a key uh trade policy objective of the president. Um and so even if the tools that they look to look at are slower or have some restrictions that weren't in place with the the tariffs that have been vacated, um they want to at least put the threat of tariffs back on the table for these negotiating partners that they've been talking to. And and in terms of how a ruling like this kind of impacts those negotiations again, as we've sort of heard of like phone calls going back and forth, maybe maybe not between the administration and several of these countries he announced so-called reciprocal tariffs on on April 2nd, are those phone calls going to start drying up off the back of this ruling? Well, I don't think so because I think the trading partners also know that this is that the the administration has other options and that this is a policy that the president um is determined to pursue. Also, of course, there are tariffs in place that the ruling does not impact. These are the sectoral tariffs, so on steel, aluminum, autos, uh investigations that are ongoing on pharmaceutical uh products, semiconductor products and and and uh goods that contain those products. Um and so uh we saw some of the outcomes of the UK uh negotiations addressing, for example, the auto tariffs and making reference to some of those other sectoral um actions. So there are there's still negotiations to be had. Um there are still tariffs in place and again, there's still the potential threat of new tariffs using other authorities. Yeah, Greta, and I guess the other thing we're hearing is uh with some of the trading partners, I'm thinking of some of the Asian partners like Japan and Korea. Some of the deal could be they buy more, you know, US uh energy products or uh they buy more, you know, pharma or they might buy more planes from Boeing. So it doesn't necessarily have to be all tariff related when we're putting together these deals. Is that is that your view as well? Yes, uh that's been a part of what the administration has been looking for. It seems like as an outcome of these deals, right? We see uh tariffs on the table. We see uh potentially non-tariff barriers, whether that's regulatory or other tax barriers. Um and as you say, sort of purchase commitments or investments, right? So there's been a broader set of asks and uh pieces on the negotiating table that the administration has been working with. Greta, really appreciate your insights and thank you so much, Paul, for the great questions as well. Appreciate you both.

Poker Face – Season 2 Episode 2 'Last Looks' Recap & Review
Episode 2 The Murder Episode 2 of Poker Face Season 2 begins with a film shoot taking place in a funeral home. The shoot involves a man killing a woman while a younger woman takes pictures of the scene. The funeral home belongs to Fred who complains to his wife, Greta about the whole thing. When Fred realises that Greta didn't inform one of their clients, the Hoppenstammers, about a change in the schedule for their grandmother's funeral, they get into an argument. He argues with Greta and she suddenly says she wants a divorce. She feels trapped and wants to take up one of the film crew on a job offer in Miami, doing makeup. That night, after the film crew is gone, Greta comes back drunk from a party. While she is in the shower, Fred moves her bags downstairs to the shoot area. When she comes out, Fred kills her the same way the woman is killed in the film. He uses the same weapon used in the shoot and her blood splatters the same way as well. He cremates her body and bags in his incinerator and then puts her ashes in the urn used by the film crew. Although, he keeps a bit and infuses it with a record of the song Sleep Walk. In the morning, the film crew takes all their things away and Fred listens to the record on his own. The Investigation We then shift to Charlie Cale, who says it's been three months since she heard anything from Beatrix Hasp or the Five Families. She's also switched from smoking to vaping. A man approaches her when she goes to a store and asks to rent her car for a period film being shot in 1973. Charlie also gets roped into playing the corpse in the scene. She meets Greta, who talks about how she did cosmetology and she had big dreams till her parents passed away. They were cremated, which is how she met and fell in love with Fred. She was only 25. Later, Charlie meets Fred who tells her about keepsakes for the dead, where one's remains can be put in objects like stained glass or pen ink. Fred shows her how he can even do it with a vinyl record. Later that night, Greta goes out with Charlie and the other girls. She complains about Fred and how he's already chosen the records for their remains. Hers is a song called Sleep Walk that she doesn't even like. Charlie drops her home and promises to come pick her up so they can go to Miami together. In the morning, Charlie looks for Greta. Fred shows her Greta's texts where she says she's leaving and tells Charlie she left with the film crew. As she leaves, she notices him dancing to a record playing Sleep Walk. The Hoppenstammers' funeral takes place. Meanwhile, Charlie uses the call sheet to reach out to the film crew but none of them have seen Greta. Which is odd because Charlie could tell Fred was saying the truth when he said she left with the film crew. Tommy, the guy who hired Charlie, goes back with her to investigate the funeral home. She spots a speck of blood on a lightbulb and that's when Fred catches her snooping. Charlie puts the clues together and accuses Fred of killing her. But Tommy then gets a text from Greta with an image of her at a beach. She says she's in Miami. Charlie admits to messing up and apologises. She's about to leave when she hears a phone ringing and finds Greta's phone in Fred's desk. She sees the texts and the beach photo, which is an image from 2022. Before she can do anything, Fred chloroforms her. Charlie wakes up inside a coffin. Fred is about to send her inside the incinerator but she pushes it hard enough for the coffin to fall off the conveyor belt and break. Fred is about to attack her but she throws her vape into the incinerator which makes it explode. She tries to pull Fred to safety but he doesn't want to leave his burning house. He'd rather burn with it. Charlie gets into her car where another surprise is waiting for her. Beatrix Hasp puts a gun to her head at the end of Poker Face Season 2 Episode 2. The Episode Review Season 2 Episode 2 is a solid follow-up. Once again, Poker Face manages to draw up real characters in a short span of time. We get a good picture of who these people are — Fred, with his obsession with his work and a house filled with the remains of his family in every knick-knack and showpiece. And Greta, with her need to get out of a marriage that makes her feel trapped. The show continues to offer complex and compelling characters and that's what really sells the whole thing. Of course, there is still a fair bit of whimsy here with details like the Hoppenstammers, who are a biker family. Additionally, it did feel a bit easy for Charlie to break herself out of the coffin like that. But things like this are easy to overlook when the rest of the episode is not just compelling but also incredibly fun. And that juicy cliffhanger is the cherry on top!

Was Greta Thunberg on the ship that caught fire off Malta after alleged Israeli drone attack?
Greta Thunberg was supposed to board the ship that caught fire after an alleged Israeli drone attack. As Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg condemned the alleged Israeli attack on a ship carrying aid to Gaza, several social media posts mistakenly claimed she was on the ship and almost died from the drone attack. The truth is, as clarified by Greta in her statement, that she was supposed to board the vessel but was not on it. In the early hours on Friday, a Gaza-bound activist aid ship caught fire after what its organizers called an Israeli drone attack off the coast of Malta in international waters. Freedom Flotilla Coalition said the attack rendered a hole in the vessel and it started sinking. Malta government jumped in the rescue action and confirmed that there were no injuries on board. 'All crew were confirmed safe but refused to board the tug. Assistance was provided to support interior firefighting efforts,' the Maltese government statement said. The ship was heading to Malta, where many activists were due to board it before it departed for Gaza. Greta Thunberg and retired US Army Colonel Mary Ann Write were among those who were expected to board but were not onboard during the attack, CNN reported. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like People Aged 50-85 With No Life Insurance Could Get This Reassured Get Quote Undo 'Volunteers from over 21 countries traveled to Malta to board the mission to Gaza, including prominent figures,' FFC said in a statement. ' We didn't even think that this would happen. It's the craziest thing in the world. The ship was in an anchor there, waiting for us to come. Who would send drones to bomb a ship that is anchoring off Malta?' Wright said, adding that 'this should be a warning to all European countries.' Thunberg said she was part of the group that was supposed to board the boat and 'continue the voyage towards Gaza, which is one of many attempts to open up a humanitarian corridor and to do our part to keep trying to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza,' adding that 'for two months now, not a single bottle of water has entered Gaza, and it's a systematic starvation of 2 million people.'
