President Trump is referencing former President Nixon's successful tariff case from the 1970s to defend his own tariffs in court. Nixon's unilateral imposition of a 10% import duty faced legal challenges, similar to Trump's current tariffs, which have recently been contested in the US Court of International Trade. While Nixon initially lost, his tariffs were upheld on appeal, a precedent Trump hopes will support his case as his administration argues for a broad interpretation of the laws underpinning his tariffs.
