TRUMP'S OTHER OPTIONS:

Trump has at least five fallback options to impose tariffs in different ways. In general, these alternatives come with more limits and procedural restrictions, meaning there’s less leeway for Trump to impose tariffs virtually immediately and set the rates as high as he chooses.

* Trump used Section 232 to set tariffs on steel and aluminum imports in 2018 during his first term in office

* Trump used Section 201 to place tariffs on imports of solar cells and modules, as well as residential washing machines in 2018.

* The first Trump administration used Section 301 to impose tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of imports from China in 2018

* Section 122 & 338 has never been used before.
