The Trump administration’s tariffs and negotiations over acquiring TikTok are among key catalysts that BI litigation and policy analysts are watching this week. The team discussed what happens next with respect to the “Liberation Day” tariffs President Donald Trump announced on April 2 and the impacts it could have on companies like Nike, Levis, and Stellantis. The team also analyzed the legal issues surrounding the use of the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify the tariffs. We closed with an update on TikTok and the April 5 deadline for its sale or ban in the US.

They discuss President Donald Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s recent threats to revoke broadcast licenses based on coverage of the Iran war.
