President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China in an effort to address illegal immigration and the influx of fentanyl into the U.S. While the Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate commerce and impose tariffs, the executive branch also has some authority under various trade acts. Trump could also use emergency powers to issue financial sanctions, as he did during his first term. President Joe Biden expressed hope that Trump would reconsider the tariffs on Mexico and Canada, warning that it could harm relationships with close allies. The potential for a challenging four-year trade war similar to his first term looms as Trump prepares to leave office. Biden emphasized the importance of maintaining strong relationships with neighboring countries and allies to avoid unnecessary complications. The ongoing debate over tariffs highlights the complex balance of power between the legislative and executive branches in trade policy decision-making.
