Constitutional Tensions Over Trump's Tariff Authority
Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs on many countries last year as a response to trade deficits.
U.S. tariffs dropped from 31% to 15%, while Swiss tariffs averaged 0.2%.
House of Representatives narrowly defeated H.R. 1042.
Rep. Tom McClintock urged maintaining tariffs pending Supreme Court's summer ruling.
Critics argue Trump's personal remark undermined tariff authority, with Swiss tariffs being high under Trump's policies.
