针对特朗普、其儿子和特朗普集团的广泛税务审计豁免计划仍然保持有效[1]。虽然司法部长提名人托德·布兰奇为获得共和党参议员支持而撤销了一项价值18亿美元的补偿基金[1],但这一豁免措施未受影响,可能使特朗普抵消数百万美元的欠税[1]。该审计豁免权源自特朗普对美国国税局提起的100亿美元诉讼的和解[1]。
同时,25个州,包括纽约、加州和科罗拉多等地,已对特朗普政府最新的关税政策提起诉讼[1]。纽约州总检察长莱蒂莎·詹姆斯表示:"失去最高法院后,政府再次试图以新一轮关税非法增加家庭和企业的税收"[1]。美国上月对59个国家和欧盟征收两位数关税,理由是这些国家和地区未能充分打击强制劳动生产的进口商品[1]。
A broad tax audit exemption shielding former President Trump, his son, and the Trump Organization continues to stand despite recent political maneuvering [1]. The exemption emerged from a settlement of a $10 billion lawsuit Trump filed against the Internal Revenue Service [1]. Although Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche withdrew an $1.8 billion compensation fund to secure support from Republican senators, the audit immunity itself has not been rescinded [1]. The exemption has the potential to offset millions of dollars in back taxes owed by Trump [1].
In a separate development, twenty-five states, including New York, California, and Colorado, have filed lawsuits challenging new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration [1]. New York Attorney General Letitia James stated: "Having lost at the Supreme Court, the administration is again attempting illegally to increase taxes on families and businesses through another round of tariffs" [1]. The U.S. imposed double-digit tariffs on fifty-nine countries and the European Union last month, citing insufficient efforts to combat imports produced through forced labor [1].
