U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs under the false claim that certain trade imbalances with other countries created a national emergency.
This is contested in courts and should have no legal standing. As the U.S. constitution explicitly says:
No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports,...
Congress has not been asked to and has not consented to the arbitrary tariffs imposed by Trump since he, on April 2, declared his fake 'Liberation Day'.
