Forbes: Can Trump’s Tariffs Be Undone In Court? Why Even Some Conservatives Argue He Exceeded Authority
President Trump has imposed a 125% tariff on Chinese goods and a 10% tariff on other foreign imports, citing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) as justification. However, conservative lawyers argue that this use of IEEPA exceeds his authority, leading to a lawsuit challenging the legality of these tariffs.

Legal experts suggest that the Supreme Court may ultimately decide the legality of Trump's tariffs, which have already caused significant economic disruption.
