Legal analyst Andrew Napolitano discusses the potential for President Trump's tariffs to be overturned by the Court of International Trade, which oversees cases related to foreign trade. V.O.S. Selections, a wine importing business, is arguing that the President overstepped his authority by citing an emergency that doesn't exist. The core of the case questions whether tariffs, seen as a form of tax, can be imposed solely by the President without Congressional approval. Napolitano underscores the court's significant but often overlooked power that could force a Congressional decision on the matter.
The Court of International Trade could potentially strike down Trump's tariffs, as a case argues the President lacks authority to impose them without a real emergency.
According to legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, the tariffs have led to significant price increases, detrimental to businesses, raising questions about presidential authority.
The fundamental argument is whether the President can impose tariffs without Congressional approval since taxes, like tariffs, are constitutionally the domain of Congress.
The obscure Court of International Trade possesses genuine authority that could halt the tariffs, challenging the President's unilateral power to impose them.
