Trump announced new tariffs on steel and aluminum today. How can the President do that?
Post Body
Trump told business leaders his plans. Equities dropped. How does the President unilaterally impose tariffs?
The most infamous US tariff was Smoot-Hawley, a piece of legislation signed by President Hoover. What changed to allow Presidents to impose new tariffs without Congressional consent? What are some separation of powers/checks and balances concerns?
