The Supreme Court hears a case testing how far a president may use national security authority

to impose tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, according to AP and Reuters.

Cassandra Joyce joins us with the latest.

The Justice's press lawyers today on whether Section 232 gives the White House too much

latitude to levy tariffs without Congress, Reuters reports.

Government attorneys argue presidents need speed and flexibility to respond to threats.

Critics, including trade groups and lawmakers in both parties, tell the court the statute

is too broad and invites abuse, according to AP.

Supporters say markets move faster than Congress and national security risks can escalate quickly.

The case caps years of fights over presidential authority in trade and national security.

A ruling could reset how presidents invoke Section 232 to tax imports.

Key justices also express doubts about relying on a 1977 emergency statute to justify tariffs.

Reuters reports, Monica Kellan has more on this.

The Supreme Court hears arguments on whether President Donald Trump lawfully used a

1977 emergency law to target trade measures affecting dozens of countries.

Several justices question stretching emergency powers into tariff policy,

according to Reuters and AP.

The administration says the steps protect national security and U.S. industries.

Business groups call it executive overreach that raises consumer costs.

Supporters counter the tools are necessary against unfair practices.

Legal scholars say that case tests Congress's limits on presidential emergency authority

and could narrow how future presidents cite emergencies for trade actions.
