Letter: The folly of Trump’s tariffs

Tariffs are taxes. The Constitution gives only Congress the power to raise taxes. There is no “national emergency” giving Trump the power to raise taxes on his own. A 25% tax on Canadian imports will do nothing to solve fentanyl abuse, but will raise prices, especially on the very lumber fire-ravaged homeowners need to rebuild. It will spark retaliation that will hurt California farmers for whom Canada is (or was) a major market.
