Four or five firms could soon agree to deals that would be unveiled as a package, in an escalation of the president’s crackdown on an industry that has drawn his ire.
In a cabinet meeting on Thursday, President Trump said four or five unnamed firms would reach deals with the administration, each committing to do $125 million worth of legal work on issues he supports.
A nonprofit group said the president misapplied a law in imposing those levies and portrayed its filing as the first lawsuit to challenge the Trump administration over its tariffs.
The assumption that there is a standard, agreed-upon truth about the country’s past is a fantasy. When declared by a sitting president, it is a provocation.
