The Cato Institute and the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) have called on the Federal Circuit to strike down President Donald Trump‘s tariffs, arguing they rely on a statute that does not grant any authority to impose such tariffs.
What Happened: According to briefs filed by the Cato Institute and the NCLA, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not give the president authority to impose tariffs, Reason reported. They argue that the Constitution grants that power exclusively to Congress.
