Trump’s tariff defeats in court are Congress’s shame
The Court of International Trade recently ruled against President Trump's tariff scheme under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. This ruling marks the fifth defeat for the administration in court regarding tariffs, with an appeal to the Federal Circuit pending. The article argues that the rationale for these tariffs is flawed and highlights the constitutional issues surrounding tariff authority.
