Appeals Court Rules Trump’s Tariffs Can Continue

Michelle Schulz at 7:20
Michelle Schulz, an international trade lawyer from Dallas, discussed the legal complexities surrounding Trump's tariff actions on a radio show. She explained that Trump has been using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) from 1977 to impose tariffs, claiming emergencies related to trade deficits and drug trafficking. However, the Court of International Trade (CIT) has challenged this approach, arguing that these situations do not constitute true emergencies.
Schulz highlighted that while previous presidents have imposed tariffs, Trump's method of using repeated executive orders is unprecedented. She detailed the typical legal processes for implementing tariffs, which usually involve lengthy agency reviews and investigations through provisions like Section 301 and Section 232.
The conversation explored the potential legal challenges, with Trump filing a motion to stay enforcement and plaintiffs having the opportunity to file counter-briefs. The CIT, described as the highest federal court for trade issues, will play a crucial role in determining the legality of these tariff actions.
Schulz also shared her personal journey into international trade law, driven by a passion for international studies and a belief in the interconnectedness of global economies. She emphasized that international trade law is a dynamic field that continues to evolve with global business interactions.
