"And then Trump is trying to become king. If you look at this attempt to grab the authority over tariffs from the U.S. Congress, that is a king move. He wants to be the power man to decide on all taxes involving imports. He's clearly up to that. And he also is doing it with the filibuster. Everything Trump is doing is to grab more power and to become a king, he added."
"At stake is whether the president can keep using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to levy sweeping import taxes, a legal move no previous president attempted, and one that Trump claims has brought in hundreds of billions and serves as leverage to force deals overseas. In late October, Trump invoked the emergency power to raise tariffs by 10% on Canada after a Canadian ad critical of his tariffs policy featured former President Ronald Reagan."
The president invoked emergency authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose sweeping import tariffs, a legal strategy no previous president used. The action shifted broad tariff power toward the executive and prompted accusations that it concentrates authority and bypasses Congress and legislative processes. The Supreme Court will decide whether Congress intended to delegate such tariff authority to the president, a ruling that could force mass refunds, undermine fiscal plans, and leave the president with only narrower, slower tariff tools if the emergency claim is rejected.
