Subject: Trump "national emergency" tariffs blocked; will Dale Strong rush back to DC to get legislation?
Dear Huntsville area TV stations:
The article Most Trump tariffs are not legal, US appeals court rules | Reuters says:
Trump justified both sets of tariffs - as well as more recent levies - under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. IEEPA gives the president the power to address "unusual and extraordinary" threats during national emergencies.
"The statute bestows significant authority on the President to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency, but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties, or the like, or the power to tax," the court said.
"It seems unlikely that Congress intended, in enacting IEEPA, to depart from its past practice and grant the President unlimited authority to impose tariffs."
Will or will not Dale Strong rush back to Washington DC to get Congress to enact legislation that affirms Trump's declaration that there is a national emergency and that gives Trump the legal authority he needs to impose the tariffs in question?
Will or will not your TV stations pose the foregoing question to Dale Strong and get an answer from him that you can report to your viewers?
Thank you.
