These aren't proposed under IEEPA. These are proposed as Section 301 tarrrifs.
Using tariffs under IEEPA was struck down, which is the US did for most of the Apr 2025 tarrifs. Some of the other tarrifs are under 301 and they remain.
The DOJ has a policy of not naming unindicted individuals. This person is no exception.
There was nothing stopping us from launching our own investigation. They have information on someone meeting these guys on the 2m. They could have at least done interviews. They now say they are opening a probe.
not sure i get your point. if if incentivizes people to build additional units then competition increases. A major problem Nassau has is supply.
Furthermore costs is another. If this reduces cost and increases supply , if it doesnt lower costs it would slow down the increase, ceteris paribus. Those people charging those prices have to compete with those who wouldnt have built triplexes but now may.
This is a good move if only a small one. Far rmore is needed but finally the govt has woken up.
This all began when the govt alleged that that GBPA owed them 350m. Which they probably pulled out of the air. The GBPA counter claimed the govt owes them an even more ridiculous number
the arbitration basically says nope and states what everyone always knew, that the agreement calls for the GBPA to reimburse the govt where is required per the agreement. Essentially the GBPA basically owed them no where near 350m if anything.
the govt is saying 1) the GBPA counter claim was tossed which is true but never would have came if the govt didnt make the first claim. 2) that the arbitration confirms they can owe them and whose job is what, but this we knew from the agreement.
The only good to come out of this is it should put to bed this back and forth.

pretty simple:
