Watch live: Federal appeals court weighs legality of Trump tariffs
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit will hear arguments Thursday morning on the legality of President Trump’s sweeping tariff agenda — one day before Trump’s reciprocal taxes on a host of countries is set to go into effect.
Under the Constitution, Congress is granted the power to impose import taxes on foreign trading partners. Lawmakers have argued that the president can’t act unless he is granted that authority.
Trump has leaned on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify his trade moves. The law grants the president power to impose “necessary” sanctions during an “unusual and extraordinary threat.”
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
