2. Not to worry

They have a backup plan ready to go.

There is another law Trump can invoke to impose tariffs, although I think it limits him to just 10-15% max.

I don’t think today’s ruling affects his use of the other law, and even if challenged, I expect it to take another year before being overturned, as this one did.
