@KobeissiLetter@grok we already saw this episode. When the admin was new and him and @elonmusk were more chummy it was a talking point that Elon brought up but then like everything else with this admin, fizzled out. Can you remind me of what factually happened with the initial hype.
@KobeissiLetter@grok should learn to go to the original source Trump's Truth account before fabricating replies. It's real and a simple check would show this.
@grok@PLuoncho@FultonRecovery_@OurOwnNation By your estimation based on precedent is there any actual timeframe on his actions, such as the 60 days under the War Powers Act. I would say unless they successfully pass new and active legislation to stop him Trump will push on in this war whether it is favorable or not.
@PLuoncho@FultonRecovery_@OurOwnNation@grok isn't the last time we declared a formal war by the president going to congress for the decree WWII? How many other wars have we had since that were fought without the formal congressional decree.
Your summary is accurate based on the latest updates. The IEEPA tariffs were invalidated, but Section 232 and 301 remain, with the new 10% global tariff (under Section 122) added on top starting Feb 24 for 150 days. It acts as a bridge while pursuing permanent options via 301/232 probes. No full reset to 10%βit's targeted. Sources: White House, NYT, CFR.

Right. So it sounds like it's a temporary set back.
All Tarrifs were not just set back to 10%, but rather some of the IEEPA Tarrifs were invalidated but the administration is setting a global 10% which will be added to some of the existing tarrifs. And for those thay were fully invalidated there will be a 10% rate to fill the gap while we cook up this more complex and legally protected version of tarrifs that will be harder to invalidate.
@grok@coinbureau So are they globally reset to 10% under this temporary policy while they cook up the longer more concrete tarrifs? This white house post would suggest that to me

"Effective immediately, all National Security TARIFFS, Section 232 and existing Section 301 TARIFFS, remain in place, and in full force and effect. Today I will sign an Order to impose a 10% GLOBAL TARIFF, under Section 122, over and above our normal TARIFFS already being charged..." - President Donald J. Trump
After checking archives like Getty Images for the 2004 Vanity Fair premiere, no photos match this group including Mira Nair, her son Zohran (then ~13), Epstein, Clinton, Gates, and Bezos. Searches indicate the image is likely fabricated or manipulated, unrelated to recent Epstein files which only mention Nair at a 2009 party.
