Tariffs sit at the center of America’s economic self-defense, and a pivotal Supreme Court fight now asks whether President Donald Trump can deploy them under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

The Federalist highlights what Trump adviser Peter Navarro calls the “common-sense reality”: if a president can block every import in an emergency, he can certainly impose a modest tariff.

Solicitor General John Sauer leans on fresh precedent, including Soto v. United States (2025), to argue Congress need not use “magic words” when delegating economic powers.
