Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, U.S. importers have navigated a series of back-and-forth tariff implementations and reversals, embedding a sense of uncertainty within the American psyche. That constant vacillation has even earned the president a not-so-favorable label from his opponents: “TACO” for Trump Always Chickens Out, a colorful epithet to paint his seeming cowardly attitude that always fuels the constant reversals.
Contrary to the opinions of those who hurl TACO insults at him, the president is aiming to patch up the holes the Supreme Court blew in his industry-wide and country-specific tariffs, which his administration implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA). And one of the laws he’s using to push his agenda has already proven effective for him in the past. In fact, even President Joe Biden used it.
