US EditionJonathan Turley: Trump Has Authority To Slap Tariffs On World
- On Wednesday, a tribunal composed of three judges from the Court of International Trade in New York determined that the president does not have the authority to unilaterally enforce reciprocal tariffs on imported goods.
- The ruling followed lawsuits against the Trump administration after it announced a 10% baseline tariff on several countries on 'Liberation Day' in April, with higher rates for nations with tariffs on the U.S.
- President Trump paused all tariffs for 90 days except those on China, which retaliated against the U.S., while a bipartisan Senate bill to restrict his tariff authority failed in a 49-49 vote on April 30, 2025.
- Law professor Jonathan Turley stated on The Ingraham Angle that Trump has legal authority to impose reciprocal tariffs, noting that previous tariffs survived legal challenges and Congress declined to undo these tariffs.
- The court's decision and legislative initiatives underscore the persistent conflict over presidential tariff authority, with the administration relying on emergency economic powers granted by law, while lawmakers push for increased congressional oversight and approval.
