Trump's Tariffs Ignite Constitutional and Economic Turmoil

Sweeping tariffs imposed by the Trump administration face bipartisan backlash over constitutional overreach and global market instability.

President Trump’s unilateral tariffs have been criticized for violating the Constitution by encroaching on Congress's exclusive authority to regulate trade and impose taxes.
The tariffs have caused significant economic disruption, with global markets experiencing steep declines and fears of an impending recession growing.
Critics argue the administration’s use of emergency powers to justify the tariffs is arbitrary, lacking a clear connection to the crises cited as justification.
Conservative voices, including National Review, are urging Congress to reclaim its constitutional authority and end what they describe as executive overreach.
Judicial and bipartisan pressure is mounting to address the constitutional breaches, with comparisons being drawn to past Supreme Court rulings on executive overreach.
