The Supreme Court is considering whether a law grants President Trump the power to impose widespread tariffs. Two companies challenged tariffs imposed on steel imports, arguing that Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, used to justify the tariffs based on national security concerns, was improperly applied. The core debate centers on the extent of presidential authority under this law and whether it allows for broad tariffs that affect multiple countries and products. A ruling against the government could significantly limit presidential trade powers.
