US EditionAs his trade war faces legal pushback, Trump has other tariff tools he could deploy
- In early April 2025, President Trump introduced extensive tariffs on imports from nearly all countries, utilizing authority granted by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. However, these tariffs were ruled invalid by courts last week.
- The invalidation occurred because courts ruled that IEEPA does not authorize sweeping tariffs, citing constitutional limits including the nondelegation and major questions doctrines.
- Trump may now pursue tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which requires country-specific investigations, public notice, comment, and possibly hearings before tariff imposition.
- Section 301 allows tariffs on any goods or sectors after findings of unreasonable or discriminatory trade practices, but its process is slower and tariffs harder to remove once imposed.
- These rulings create uncertainty yet may prompt trading partners to negotiate more stable agreements, as Trump retains multiple tariff tools despite legal constraints.
