Under IEEPA, Trump argued, he could tax imports of any goods he decided to target from any country he chose at any rate he deemed appropriate for any length of time he thought was necessary. But Trump had a backup plan: Immediately after that decision, he announced another sweeping set of tariffs, this time relying on Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. In May, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the new tariffs were illegal because Trump had failed to "identify balance-of-payments deficits within the meaning of Section 122." Although that decision was stayed pending appeal, Trump's Section 122 tariffs, which were subject to a 150-day statutory limit, expired last Friday. But since the LJC spearheaded the successful challenge to Trump's IEEPA tariffs, the president should be worried.
