Nope DOPE:
"AI Overview
Yes, Congress has granted the President authority to impose tariffs through documented legislation since the 1930s, primarily through the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934 and later the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and Trade Act of 1974, allowing tariffs to be used as tools for foreign policy and economic diplomacy, not just revenue generation. These laws delegated specific powers to the executive branch, though Congress retains ultimate authority to set tariffs. "
