**Our scholars** Scott Lincicome, Clark Packard, and Colin Grabow have written extensively on President Trump’s recent proposal of imposing a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods and a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, and they are available for comment today. Their research provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential ramifications of using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) to declare a national economic emergency and the subsequent effects on the USMCA trade agreement and industries dependent on North American supply chains.
