BIG WIN today at the U.S. Court of International Trade on one ofthe most DESPICABLE loopholes in American Trade Policy - The
so-called "de minimis" exemption.For years, Foreign Shippers could send packages worth up to$800 into our Country, DUTY FREE, NO TARIFF, far less scrutiny.It became a giant loophole for TARIFF Cheats - and a Pipelineexploited by Fentanyl Traffickers, Counterfeiters, and otherCriminals shipping dangerous and illegal products into America.The numbers were staggering. In 2024 alone, de minimis costAmerica an estimated 10.8 BILLION DOLLRS in foregone TARIFFRevenue, and an astonishing share of narcotics and counterfeitseizures came through the de minimis channel. So, we CLOSEDIT. With the stroke of my mighty pen - NO AUTOPEN!!! - weended this ridiculous giveaway, and made Foreign Goods play bythe rules. The Importers sued. Today, THEY LOST. The Courtruled that the President had the Legal Authority to rescind thisso-called "privilege.
America is now SAFER, our Workers are better protected, andBILLIONS in TARIFF Revenue that used to slip through thisloophole can instead help pay for our Great Military, Tax Relief,NO TAX ON TIPS, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY. AMERICAFIRST TRADE - AND AMERICA FIRST LAW ENFORCEMENT!President DONALD J. TRUMP
