美财长贝森特：即使在最高法院败诉 特朗普政府仍能推行关税

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that regardless of the Supreme Court's decision on Trump's tariffs, the Trump administration can still advance its tariff plans [1][2]. - Secretary of the Treasury, Bessent, reiterated that the 1962 Trade Act grants the president broad powers over import tariffs, specifically referencing sections 301, 232, and 122 [2][3]. - Bessent emphasized that the tariffs must be implemented permanently, although section 122's tariff authority is limited to 150 days, while sections 301 and 232 do not specify a time frame [4]. Group 2 - Bessent believes that the Trump administration has a strong chance of winning the case regarding tariffs in the Supreme Court [7]. - The administration has historically used tariffs as a negotiation tool with trade partners, although recent measures have become less aggressive [5]. - Bessent is awaiting the Supreme Court's ruling before deciding whether to use any additional revenue from tariffs for income tax cuts [6]. Group 3 - Bessent avoided questions about the next Federal Reserve Chair nominee, indicating that the chair's power over interest rates is limited [8]. - Recent discussions suggest that Kevin Hassett, the Director of the National Economic Council, is a leading candidate for the position [8]. - Bessent noted that some sectors of the U.S. economy are weakening, and a rate cut could benefit these areas, particularly the softening real estate market [8].
