Court questions law that underpins Trump’s trade policy


Trump appeared to address one of the concerns by indicating he would not be opposed to extending the 90-day truce.

NEW YORK: A tribunal of judges in a special trade court raised constitutional questions over President Trump’s expansive regulation of trade, focusing on a national security law the president has used to impose tariffs on imported goods.

Judges at the U.S. Court of International Trade, presiding over a suit against the Trump administration brought by steel importers and foreign producers, quizzed administration lawyers on whether Congress has improperly delegated too much of its constitutional power to the president. The lawsuit targets Section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act, in which Congress delegated the president some of the authority to set tariffs.
