Trump has other tariff options
Digest more
Conversation around tariffs has surged after the U.S. Supreme Court recently struck down the broad global tariffs that President Trump had imposed under emergency powers, ruling they were unconstitutional because only Congress can levy taxes like tariffs.
The administration is also considering Section 122 of the Trade Act, which permits the president to impose a temporary, across-the-board tariff of up to 15 percent to address trade imbalances. Trump has discussed implementing a global tariff of about 10 percent through this authority, NPR reported.
