Selections v. Trump, a case brought by five small business owners and 12 states who allege they have been harmed by President\u00a0Trump&#8217;s import taxes. V.O.S., the lead plaintiff in the case, is a New-York based wine importer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit challenges President Trump&#8217;s claim that he has authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA) to issue tariffs, a process that normally requires congressional approval.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A victory by the plaintiffs could deal a blow to Mr. Trump as he seeks to negotiate trade deals with U.S. economic partners. The U.S. and the European Union on Sunday\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/eu-trade-deal-trump-tariff\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">announced a pact<\/a><\/span>, easing tension over a brewing trade war. But the White House has yet to reach deals with other major trading partners, including Canada, Mexico, South Korea and China.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What both sides are arguing<\/h2>\n<p>The plaintiffs in the V.O.S. case argue that Mr. Trump exceeded his authority when he bypassed congressional approval and invoked IEEPA as the legal\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/fact-sheets\/2025\/04\/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-national-emergency-to-increase-our-competitive-edge-protect-our-sovereignty-and-strengthen-our-national-and-economic-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">basis<\/a>\u00a0for imposing his &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs on April 2.

However, no U.S. president has ever invoked IEEPA as a justification for imposing tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s limited to emergencies where there is an &#8216;unusual and extraordinary threat&#8217; \u2014 and the trade deficit is hardly an emergency. It&#8217;s been with us for basically 50 years&#8221; said Jeffrey Schwab, senior counsel and director of litigation at the Liberty Justice Center, a nonpartisan public interest law representing the five businesses that have filed suit in the case.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has defended President Trump&#8217;s use of IEEPA to impose tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The administration is legally and fairly using tariff powers that have been granted to the executive branch by the Constitution and Congress to level the playing field for American workers and safeguard our national security,&#8221; White House spokesperson Kush Desai told CBS MoneyWatch in a statement.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the case is important<\/h2>\n<p>Mr. Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/04\/regulating-imports-with-a-reciprocal-tariff-to-rectify-trade-practices-that-contribute-to-large-and-persistent-annual-united-states-goods-trade-deficits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> tariffs are necessary to eliminate trade imbalances with other countries, which he said constitutes an &#8220;unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs could have broader implications for trade policy, forcing Mr. Trump to seek congressional approval in imposing tariffs, Schwab said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the court holds that the President&#8217;s Liberation Day and fentanyl tariffs are unlawful, then he would not have authority to set those tariff rates, but still Congress could approve these deals \u2014 just like it did the NAFTA renegotiation in the first Trump term,&#8221; Schwab said in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Presidents can draw on\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-tariffs-court-ruling-ieepa\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">other statutes<\/a><\/span>, such as Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, to authorize the use of tariffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How we got here<\/h2>\n<p>The U.S. Court of International Trade in May\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/court-strikes-dow-trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-ruling-them-illegal\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">struck down Mr. Trump&#8217;s tariffs<\/a><\/span>, with a three-judge panel ruling that the levies exceeded &#8220;any authority granted to the president by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the trade court said the 10% reciprocal tariffs are designed to deal with trade imbalances, which the judges said did not constitute an emergency under IEEPA.
