Trump's New Tariffs Are Illegal, Too

Why Trump’s Section 122 Tariffs Are Illegal

In Section 122, Congress endowed the president with narrow, temporary authority to impose tariffs “to deal with large and serious United States balance-of-payments deficits” (emphasis added). What Trump is complaining about — something he insists is a crisis but is not — is the balance of trade, not of payments. The United States does not have an overall balance of payments deficit, much less a large and serious one.

Again, Trump Completely Misreads the Law

But the president misreads the statute. The provision is not about trade imbalances. It is about financial imbalances — in particular ones that threaten financial stability.

Seems anything good for America is suddenly illegal. The left really is the enemy of western civilization. These deranged woke activist judges should have faced a Reckoning long ago. This is a major failure of Trump 2.0

You mean like the Marxists Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Amy Barrett Browning?

He’s levying a tax by dictate on the American people and alienating a lot of our erstwhile friends…….it’s unacceptable illegal and just shows how ill equipped he is as a president…..that’s putting it more politely than he deserves.I think you know better and just like to be the fly in the ointment.

Trump’s tariffs have not been good for the economy in the short term.

However, the real damage is in the long term. New trading partnerships have and are being created that exclude America. New markets have been found for products and new sources found.

After Trump, things won’t go back to business as usual.

The real loser is the American people over the next decades.

What Trump has effectively done over the last week is given the Supreme Court an FU and I’m going to do what I want. They won’t react well to that. Watch this space….

Well said. America is becoming like a once successful business that has ignored its customers' complaints and who have gone elsewhere to perhaps never return.

If he keeps on Canada will one day raise the tariffs for Airlines to fly over Canadian air space which they own and have charged way under market price for decades because Canada and America were partners.

Now that trump has managed to destroy the relationship with our long time closest ally and trading partner Canada may well decide to use their air space as a tool of it's own. To do so would mean billions of dollars in additional fuel cost, many extra hours of flight times to almost every destination in asia and many in europe. Passenger fares rise, freight cost rise and consumers pay the price once again.

Trump likely has no clue as to how polar routes impact the airline industry and Canada controls almost all the polar air space routes.

It's a business that acquired a totally incompetent CEO.

The notion that the incompetent Trump should be allowed to continue because Biden, allegedly, was incompetent (which is essentially what the constant "What about Biden......" nonsense amounts to) is something that reveals a careless, absolute stupidity in those that espouse it.

Do the people that trot it out care so little about their nation that they would rather see it ruined than give up their "right" to further add to the alleged damage....but on their terms?

And they call themselves "patriots"...........******* idiots.

How would you know that or even suspect that? You think the President or specifically someone in his orbit like the Transport Sec know nothing about The 2007 US-Canada Air Transport Agreement (the current "Open Skies" deal, signed March 12, 2007, and still in force) WHICH directly grants this right in Article 2(1)(a):

"Each Party grants to the other Party the following rights for the conduct of international air transportation by the airlines of the other Party: (a) the right to fly across its territory without landing."

This covers exactly the flights you're talking about (the polar routes) — US-registered airlines flying from the US to Europe, Asia, or other third countries on great-circle/polar routes that cross Canadian airspace without landing in Canada. The agreement also allows full flexibility on routes "to points in Canada and beyond."Both countries are also long-time parties to the 1944 International Air Services Transit Agreement (IASTA), which multilaterally guarantees the same 1st Freedom (overflight) for scheduled international services.Canada has complete sovereignty over its airspace (Chicago Convention Article 1), but once it signed these treaties, it legally bound itself not to block these flights arbitrarily.

They could pull a trump and just ignore or just break the law then tie it up in the courts……another words pull a trump.

The idea that somebody might post "Trump pulls a TACO" fills me with all sorts of horrible thoughts!
