Trump’s Tariffs UNSTOPPABLE? 3 Hidden Laws Keep Them ALIVE!
Could tariffs be an inescapable fixture of global trade, even if the Supreme Court steps in? Despite a potential ruling against the Trump administration's expansive use of the IEEPA authority for imposing tariffs, experts reveal a surprising truth: these economic barriers are likely here to stay. White House adviser Ryan Majerus highlights that the Biden administration, or any future administration, could still leverage powerful, less-utilized legal avenues. For instance, Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act permits a president to enact a 15 percent global tariff for 150 days to address significant balance-of-payments deficits. Furthermore, the administration can initiate multiple trade investigations under Section 301, a provision battle-tested in courts and previously used by the Trump administration in its trade war against China. This authority allows for broad tariffs in response to unfair trading practices, reinforcing the government's ability to shape international commerce. Ultimately, the future of global trade looks set to remain heavily influenced by presidential powers, irrespective of specific legal challenges.
