Trump’s Tariffs: Did He Bypass the U.S. Constitution? | Strategic Vanguard

Trade wars are usually about economics. But under former President Donald Trump, tariffs on China, Europe, and even Canada sparked a much deeper debate — a constitutional one.

The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to impose tariffs and regulate commerce. Yet Trump used Cold War–era laws to unilaterally reshape America’s trade policy, bypassing Congress in the process.

In this episode of Strategic Vanguard, we explore:

The constitutional foundation of tariff powers.

How Trump used Section 232 & 301 to justify sweeping tariffs.

Why U.S. courts upheld these actions despite legal controversy.

The global fallout — China’s retaliation, WTO rulings, and strained alliances.

The strategic implications of presidents using “national security” to expand executive power.

📌 Was this a clever strategy, or an overreach of presidential power? And what does it mean for the future of U.S. democracy and global trade?

👉 Share your thoughts in the comments. Should presidents have this much power over trade?
