Navigating Trump-Era Trade Policy—Section 232 and the Future of U.S. Tariffs
While the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) has received a lot of press as a cornerstone of current U.S. tariff policy, Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 has been almost as important in shaping the Trump administration’s approach to trade.
With the Supreme Court of the United States currently deliberating the extent of presidential authority under the IEEPA—and following the dynamic oral arguments on November 5, 2025—many experts anticipate a landmark decision that could invalidate some or all IEEPA-based tariffs. Should this occur, Section 232 tariffs will likely assume an even greater role, potentially becoming the primary source of U.S. tariffs in the years ahead.
Join us on December 18 for a timely and insightful webinar as we analyze the Supreme Court’s decision—or prepare for its imminent release. Our panel will explore the Section 232 tariff framework, review current Section 232 measures, and discuss what the future may hold for U.S. trade policy.
