President-elect Trump considers declaring an economic emergency to impose tariffs broadly.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is considering declaring a national economic emergency to justify imposing broad tariffs on both allies and adversaries. This move would allow him to use the International Economic Emergency Powers Act to manage imports during a declared emergency. Trump has previously threatened tariffs on global, Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports. No final decision has been made, but this action could give him broad authority over tariffs without needing strict national security justification.
