  • US President-elect Donald Trump - who during the campaign called tariff "the most beautiful word in the dictionary" - wasted little time after his election win before proposing even more stringent tariffs on US trading partners.

The article from MSN discusses the legal and political complexities surrounding former President Donald Trump's potential to enact tariffs without Congressional approval if he were to return to office. It explains that while the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, presidents have historically used executive authority to impose tariffs under certain conditions, like national security, through mechanisms like Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Trump previously utilized this section to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum, arguing they were necessary for national security. However, these actions can be challenged in court or by Congress, which has the authority to override presidential tariffs through legislation, although this is politically challenging. The article also notes that while Trump could attempt to enact tariffs unilaterally, any such move would likely face legal scrutiny, potential Congressional pushback, and could be influenced by international trade agreements and WTO rules.
