"He's too committed to the tariff to give it up," Ross said."

Supreme Court will hear whether President Trump's use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on more than 100 countries exceeded presidential authority. Article I, Section 8 grants Congress the power to lay and collect "taxes, duties, imposts, and excises," and tariffs traditionally require congressional approval. The administration invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify tariffs during "national emergencies," though the act does not mention duties. Wilbur Ross, former commerce secretary who helped design earlier tariffs under Section 232, said a total defeat at the Court is unlikely and that Trump is too committed to abandon the tariff policy if blocked.
