Trump: Supreme Court ruling makes the president's tariff authority "clearer and stronger"

PANews February 21 News, according to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump pointed out that as Justice Kavanaugh stated in his dissent: “Although I disagree with today’s ruling, it does not substantially limit the President’s future authority to impose tariffs, because many other federal laws—such as Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Sections 122, 201, and 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, and Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930—still authorize the President to impose tariffs.” In fact, today’s Supreme Court decision makes the President’s power to regulate trade and impose tariffs clearer and stronger. They did not overturn “tariffs,” but rather rejected a specific use under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Under that law, the authority to implement embargoes, restrictions, or conditions on foreign trade has been fully confirmed. To protect the nation, the President can now impose more tariffs based on other authorized laws.
