特朗普在最高法院审查期间的关税选项

摘要

总统唐纳德·特朗普面临对其广泛关税的法律挑战,但仍保留通过其他途径征收进口税的可能性。

总统唐纳德·特朗普警告称,如果最高法院宣布他今年早些时候对几乎所有国家实施的关税无效,美国可能会变得“毫无防御能力”,甚至“几乎沦为第三世界国家”。在周三的口头辩论中,法官们对他依据1977年《国际紧急经济权力法》(IEEPA)单方面征收关税的广泛权力表示怀疑。

尽管可能面临法律挫折,特朗普仍有多种替代机制继续对进口商品征税。他可以援引其第一任期内使用的关税权限,或探索其他包括大萧条时期起源的相关条款。

乔治城大学贸易法教授凯瑟琳·克劳森表示:“很难看到关税会终止的任何途径。我相当确信,他可以利用其他权限重建他目前的关税体系。”

其中一个替代方案是1974年《贸易法》第301条,该条款允许美国应对其他国家的“不合理”、“不公正”或“歧视性”贸易行为。特朗普此前曾利用该条款对中国进口商品征收关税,以应对所谓的不公平贸易行为。

另一个选项是1962年《贸易扩展法》第232条,允许对被视为国家安全威胁的进口商品征收关税。在其第一任期内,特朗普对钢铁和铝材进口实施了第232条关税,并在重返白宫后将其扩大到其他产品。

此外,1930年《关税法》(即斯穆特-霍利法案)中的第338条授权总统对歧视美国企业的国家进口商品征收最高50%的关税。虽然该条款从未被使用过,但仍是一个潜在工具。

最高法院即将作出的裁决将极大影响政府的贸易政策方向。然而,即使现有关税被推翻,总统仍拥有多条法定途径实施进口税,确保关税继续成为美国贸易战略的核心组成部分。
