The US Supreme Court declines to hear a challenge to President Trump's 25% tariffs on foreign steel
Washington The US Supreme Court declined Monday to hear a challenge to President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on foreign steel.
The case was brought by the American Institute for International Steel, which argued that the legal tool used by the President to impose the tariffs, known as Section 232, is unconstitutional. It's the second time the court refused to hear the case. Congress has jurisdiction over trade, but it has delegated some of its power to the executive branch. Section 232 allows the President to impose tariffs in order to protect national security.
