Federal judge suggests President Trump has authority to impose tariffs under 1977 economic act.
A federal judge in Florida suggested that President Trump has the authority to impose tariffs, citing a 1970s precedent involving a Japanese zipper company.
The judge transferred a lawsuit challenging Trump's tariffs to the Court of International Trade in New York and argued that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 allows tariffs to be set for reasons beyond raising revenue, such as stemming illicit drug flows and resolving trade imbalances.
This decision marks the first time a federal judge has indicated Trump's tariffs may fall within presidential authority, providing a symbolic win for the administration.
