This isn’t an issue limited to Trump. The law that enables his tariffs has been invoked many times in the past, with many of those still in effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Emergency_Economic_Powers_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Emergency_Econom... Other economies do grant executives ways to act quickly - hence the ability for many countries to enact retaliatory tariffs so quickly. Do I think it’s bad? Not necessarily in principle - officials in executive positions often need to be able to act quickly. But Trump’s approach has obviously damaged relationships with many long time partners like Canada and also important new partners like India. So maybe Congress should repeal IEEPA.
