NYT Opininon Piece says Trump's new tariffs are illegal too; notes "A Section 122 “payments problem” involves a flight from the U.S. dollar. At the moment, no such problem exists."

• "The provision is not about trade imbalances. Other parts of the statute address those. It is about financial imbalances — in particular ones that threaten financial stability."

This opinion piece suggesting that Trump's new tariffs are illegal may create uncertainty in trade relations, potentially impacting investor sentiment towards the USD. While it notes no current issue with U.S. dollar stability, such discussions could trigger volatility in forex and equities, especially if concerns over tariffs escalate into broader economic fears.
