What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Donald Trump is attempting to shift core tariff authority from Congress to the Executive Branch by relying on Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. He claims this section grants sweeping power to impose broad, economy-wide tariffs untethered from the statute Congress enacted. A brief filed by former trade officials, including Alan Wm. Wolff, urges the Court of International Trade to reject this power grab.
