Former President Donald Trump has promised a sharp escalation of tariffs enacted during his first term.

Some economists have said higher tariffs could expand certain areas of U.S. manufacturing, but the policy risks rekindling inflation.

Trump is largely accurate in his description of the wide latitude enjoyed by the president in setting and implementing some tariffs, experts said.

Trump could face court challenges that may reach as high as the Supreme Court , experts say.

The threat of such a move could also draw opposition from Congress , which could seek to repeal or amend the law.

Opposition could also come from foreign nations that impose retaliatory tariffs, straining some industries.
