The article discusses how trade policy in the United States has shifted since 2018, with the Trump Administration using national security tariffs to benefit certain industries and punish other countries. The author argues that this goes against the original purpose of the national security exception in trade law, which was meant to be used sparingly. They suggest that Congress should take back control of trade policy to ensure it benefits the entire country. The paper explores the history of protective tariffs, the development of the national security exception, and compares it to international trade law. The author concludes that the current use of national security tariffs is harming the global trade system and needs to be reined in.
