  • In addition to questions and litigation over potential rebates, experts say the new tariff authority on which Trump is relying—Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act—could also be subject to legal scrutiny.
  • “Section 122 was last used at scale by President Nixon. It would be unsurprising if the use of tariffs aimed at trade imbalances is subject to legal challenges for exceeding the scope of their authority,” said Daniel Anziska, partner at the law firm Troutman Pepper Locke. “However, the fact that Section 122 tariffs will only remain in effect for 150 days (their statutory limit) limits the effect of legal challenges.”
