1. Conflated 'EPA' with 'IAEA'?

2. International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977 is a US federal law authorizing the President to regulate international commerce and financial transactions after declaring a national emergency in response to an unusual or extraordinary threat from outside the US. It is frequently used for sanctions but has also been invoked to impose tariffs.

3. IEEPA is the initials of the emergency tariff law that he was abusing to charge these tariffs.

SCOTUS said he doesn't have that authority under that law. maybe other...but not that one.

4. International Emergency Economic Powers Act

That's what he's been using to impost tariffs.

5. Thanks for asking this - I wondered what his 'authority' had been.

BTW, does anyone know if the 'already paid' tarriffs will be refunded? Straight out of the ballroom fund, I hope.
