Cohn Out

Can he put trade barriers up on his own? Or does he need the Senate for that?
No, I'm pretty sure he can do that by executive order.
But maybe GWB or AAA or TFT will chime in here with a more definitive answer.
 
Those reasons seem like a bit of a reach to me. "trading with your enemy act", "national emergency" or based on "national security impacts"...

No enemy in China/Europe... not at war.
No national emergency, US economy is tugging along just fine at the moment.
National security impact from imported steel?

He's stretching...
He's been saying all week... "No steel industry, no country".
