Last week ABC reported that US District Court Judge T. Kent Wetherell ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 gives Trump the authority to set tariffs for reasons other than raising revenue. Wetherell wrote that Trump's justification for the tariffs - both stemming the flow of illicit drugs into the country and resolving a trade imbalance - is sufficient to satisfy the terms set by Congress.
However, rather than issuing an order, Judge Wetherell punted the case from a federal court in Southern Florida to the Court of International Trade.
