Are Trump's tariffs legal
Asked 8 hours ago
Answer
U.S. appeals courts have ruled that most of Trump's tariffs are not legal under federal law, specifically those imposed using emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The courts found that the president does not have the authority to impose tariffs in this manner, as the Constitution grants this power to Congress. The tariffs remain in place pending a potential Supreme Court review.
