1. La Estrategia Legal: Emergencia para Evitar al Congreso.
Numerosos análisis señalan que la Constitución de EE. UU. otorga al Congreso la autoridad sobre los aranceles. Sin embargo, el poder ejecutivo puede actuar unilateralmente en caso de una 'emergencia nacional'. Las publicaciones argumentan que la crisis del fentanilo fue el pretexto fabricado para invocar estos poderes de emergencia.
- I just another post which explained that the us executive branch (trump) can't unilaterally impose trade sanctions (tariffs) on other countries without congressional approval, unless it's an emergency. He's using fentanyl as the emergency.
- The only way trump can declare emergency economic powers to apply tariffs without going through congress is by lying that it has to do with drugs. It was never about fentanyl. Hope this clears that up for canada.
- Trump needed the fentanyl pretext in order to declare an emergency do that he could impose the tariffs without congressional approval. The is virtually no fentanyl entering the us from canada.
- The u.s. Congress has legal authority over tariffs. Trump is pretending there's a flood of fentanyl entering the u.s. From canada to invent a nonexistent emergency that he's using to justify tariffs that he doesn't have the authority to enact.
- Tariffs are the prerogative of congress, but there is an exception allowing the president to impose them in the event of a national emergency. Of course poses no threat to the . The fentanyl is just a pretext to try & get around the illegality of what he's doing. This is what it's really about:
2. El Argumento contra Canadá: Una Justificación Cuestionada.
Las publicaciones desmienten la idea de que Canadá sea una fuente significativa de fentanilo para EE. UU. Se citan cifras mínimas de incautaciones en la frontera norte, calificando la narrativa de 'engaño', 'mentira' o 'farsa' diseñada para justificar una acción económica contra un aliado clave.
- The trump regime's basis for the emergency under which the tariffs, against canada, are being created is the influx of fentanyl. Except their own assessment doesn't list canada as a threat in that regard.
- He needs a national emergency to claim the power to set tariffs. Thats it. Less than an ounce of fentanyl was seized at canadian borders in january. It so is not about drugs.
- What a fucking joke! fentanyl is nothing more than the catch phrase he uses to justify his scam of “emergency tariff powers”! imagine justifying tariffs on canada by using the fentanyl crisis - please!! less than 1% of all fentanyl entering the u.s. Comes through the canadian border.
- The tariffs on canada were justified by a "national security emergency" based on virtually non-existent fentanyl smuggling.
- Trump is using fetanyl as a national emergency excuse for him to issues tariffs instead of congress even on canada where 20x more fentanyl goes to canada from the us then vice versa - it's a complete sham that congress is supposed to be able to stop.
3. Abuso de Poder y Motivaciones Reales.
Los comentarios denuncian un abuso de los poderes presidenciales, argumentando que la crisis de opioides fue explotada cínicamente. Se sugiere que las verdaderas motivaciones detrás de los aranceles no eran la seguridad nacional, sino objetivos económicos, políticos y una estrategia para ejercer presión sobre socios comerciales.
- It was never about fentanyl. That is just the excuse to allow the executive branch to put "emergency" tariffs on goods without going through congress. I hate that he is doing this, but at least canada isn't taking it. This isn't what most of the people of the us want. Go canada!
- The fentanyl is a ruse. In order to use executive orders,trump needs to declare an emergency, so he created one. Now he can bypass congress & its traditional power of the purse. He’s already backpedaled, and exempted mexico, not canada, for the amount of fentanyl or illegals doesn’t matter.
- If not clear: trump cannot impose or increase tariffs single-handedly as president unless there is an emergency. So he is (badly) selling the idea that the tariff are about fentanyl. In reality, he is abusing his emergency powers and taking advantage of the tragedy that is the opioid epidemic.
- The fentanyl ruse is reprehensible. Trump fabricated an "emergency" to impose tariffs against canada without congress.
- The "fentanyl" thing is just a smokescreen so trump can claim it's "national security." otherwise, the power to impose tariffs belongs to congress under the constitution, with certain legislative exceptions where authority was granted to the president.
