面对其国内通胀高企的压力，以及最高法院关税听证会后的诉讼不确定性，白宫正逐步改变关税工具策略。 据证券时报网11月23日报道，知情的美国官员透露，特朗普政府正在秘密准备一套备用方案，一旦"对等关税"被推翻， 商务部和贸易代表办公室将转而依据《贸易法》中的第301条和第122条。 这两条法律同样赋予总统单方面加征关税的权力。白宫国家经济委员会主任哈塞特近期也透露过类似信号。不过，这些 备用方案要么实施起来更慢，要么征收范围不如特朗普现在用的权力那么广，而且也可能面临类似诉讼。 具体来看，1974年出台的《贸易法》第301条授权贸易代表可对他国的"不合理或不公正贸易做法"发起调查，并建议总 统实施单边制裁。 据克罗威尔莫林律师事务所(Crowell & Moring)合伙人Dan Cannistra统计，截至2025年1月17日特朗普第二个任期开始之 前，历届政府根据301条款发起调查超过130起，其中有35起调查是在1995年世界贸易组织成立后启动的。 2017年，特朗普在第一个任期内特别针对亚洲的贸易伙伴扩大了301条款的适用范围，包括数字贸易、知识产权、市场 准入（如乙醇）、环境政策（如非法毁林）等广泛领域 ...
