Galaxy Asset Management: November 2024 Month End AUMWASHINGTON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is widely expected to again turn to a favorite legal tool to underpin threatened tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China: the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, one of several legal avenues to impose his broader tariff agenda. Trump this week fired the first trade-related broadside of his second term - eight weeks before taking office - threatening 25% duties on goods from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% tariffs on Chinese goods to push them to clamp down on the flow of the deadly opioid fentanyl and illegal migrants into the U.S. Trade lawyers and other experts say there is ample authority for him to move quickly without approval from Congress. Here are the key tools he could use in his sweeping tariff agenda: Trump could declare a national emergency over the fentanyl crisis and the southern U.S. border, which would unlock the use of this statute, enacted in 1977 and updated in 2001 to impose tariffs or financial sanctions. Trump invoked that statute a number of times during his first term, including to back up his threat of a 5% tariff on Mexican goods. He dropped the threat after Mexico vowed to deploy security forces to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. The then-Republican president also said the statute gave him the authority to "order" U.S. companies to leave China, and towards the end of his term in August 2020 he invoked the law again in an attempt to ban Chinese-owned video platform TikTok. Congress can revoke the use of the statute by passing a joint declaration of disapproval. "But that's a heavy lift, especially for a Republican Congress" at the start of Trump's term, said Stephen Kho, a trade lawyer at Akin Gump and former China trade enforcement counsel at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Courts have generally upheld challenges to the statute and its predecessor, the 1917 Trading with the Enemy Act, which then-President Richard Nixon invoked in 1971 to impose a 10% supplemental duty , opens new tab on all U.S. imports to ease a balance of payments crisis and push Germany and Japan to revalue their currencies against the dollar. Trump has proposed broad 10%-20% tariffs on all U.S. imports. Like Nixon, Trump could invoke the IEEPA for this, but would face a higher standard of defining an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the U.S. Trade experts also say Trump could return to the Cold War-era Section 232 statute to underpin broader tariffs, but this would require a new investigation that could take months to complete. Trump invoked Section 232 to impose tariffs of 25% on global steel imports and 10% on aluminum in 2018, but negotiated exemptions for Canada and Mexico a year later that eliminated their retaliatory tariffs on U.S. pork, beef, bourbon and other products. Trump is likely to again turn to Section 301, the backbone of his 2018-2020 trade war against China, as he looks to super-size his tariffs on Chinese imports. The statute, which allows the U.S. to retaliate against trading partners' unfair practices, underpinned punitive duties of up to 25% on some $370 billion worth of Chinese imports, from semiconductors to machinery to toys after a USTR investigation found that China was misappropriating U.S. intellectual property and coercing the transfer of U.S. technology to Chinese firms. Trump's newly nominated U.S. trade representative, Jamieson Greer , may be able to modify the existing China Section 301 findings to justify additional tariffs on Chinese goods, as current USTR Katherine Tai did to back President Joe Biden's sharply higher duties on electric vehicles, batteries, semiconductors and solar products. But Greer may also launch a new Section 301 probe into China's state-driven excess industrial capacity - an increasing concern for the U.S. and market economies - and industry-domination practices. While trade lawyers say there is well-documented evidence of such practices, it would take likely several months for a new Section 301 probe to be completed, given the need for public comment periods and hearings. Trump could invoke this balance-of-payments statute to impose an additional global U.S. tariff for 150 days to restrict imports in the event of balance-of-payments problems, or to prevent a significant depreciation of the dollar. Congress added this authority as a result of Nixon's 10% tariff action in 1971. But the statute limits the tariff action to 150 days, unless extended by Congress. This anti-discrimination statute remains on the books, though it has not appeared in public government correspondence since the late 1940s. At that time, the U.S. and its trading partners agreed to "bound" global tariff rates under the post-war Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the predecessor to today's World Trade Organization. It would allow Trump to impose additional tariffs of up to 50% on goods from any country that discriminates against U.S. products in a way that puts American goods at a "disadvantage" compared to imports from other countries.

A not-sweet Week 16 for us, specially against the spread (with the Vikings’ 3-point win the push). We missed our Upset of the Week, missed on Fins-Niners and got unlucky on Jalen Hurts’ injury. The good stuff? One point off an Exacto perfect score on Lions-Bears, and had Dallas with the points over Tampa. With two weeks left our .675 mark outright is very solid but we’re now down to five games over .500 against the betting line. Finish strong! [Note: Our Christmas Day picks were Chiefs (14-1, -2 1/2) over @Steelers (10-5), 24-18, and Ravens (10-5, -5 1/2) over @Texans (9-6), 27-20. Our Thursday night pick was Seahawks (8-7, -3 1/2) over @Bears (4-11), 23-16.] ——— Week 16: 10-6, .625 overall; 6-9-1, .406 vs. spread. Season: 162-78, 675 overall; 120-115-5, .511 vs. spread. ——— GREG COTE’S NFL WEEK 17 PICKS GAME OF THE WEEK FALCONS (8-7) at COMMANDERS (10-5) Line: WAS by 4 1/2. Cote’s pick: WAS, 27-24. TV: 8:20 p.m. Sunday, NBC/Peacock. [Playoff impact: WAS clinches playoffs with a win and loss by TB. ATL clinches division with a win and a loss by TB.] Green Bay-Minnesota had much backing from the Game of the Week committee, but this Sunday prime-time duel won by a nose on playoff bearing. Washington is the only one of nine 10-win teams to not yet clinch a postseason spot but tries again here as Atlanta seeks to qualify as well by winning its division. Commanders pass defense will make it tough on Michael Penix Jr. in a way the Giants did not last week in his first NFL start. But Bijan Robinson will own big turf vs. Comms beatable run-D to keep game inside the bet-line. UPSET OF THE WEEK PACKERS (11-4) at VIKINGS (13-2) Line: GB by 1. Cote’s pick: MIN, 27-24. TV: 4:25 p.m. Sunday, Fox. [Playoff impact: Both are playoff-clinched, so stakes here are relatively low.] “AAWWK!” carols the Upset Bird. “Not much of an upsaawwk!” Yeah, I know. Near-pick-’em games aren’t true upsets, but few Week 17 games had Big U potential that drew us in, and so a 13-2 team as a home ‘dog (by any amount) qualifies, if only technically. Vikes beat Pack, 31-29, early in season but led 28-0 before a wild Gee Bees comeback. Minny’s elite run defense will goad Jordan Love into a couple of turnovers as Purples score first season sweep of Green Bay since 2017. “Appreciate the use of the word ‘goad’,” notes U-Bird as a random aside. “Vikings are 7-1 at home, by the way. By the waawwk!” THE REST OF WEEK 17: Christmas Day picks were Chiefs (14-1, -2 1/2) over @Steelers (10-5), 24-18, and Ravens (10-5, -5 1/2) over @Texans (9-6), 27-20: We were a perfect 2-0/2-0. Thursday night pick was Seahawks (8-7, -3 1/2) over @Bears (4-11), 23-16. Chargers (9-6, -4 1/2) over @Patriots (3-12), 24-13: [Playoff impact: LAC clinch playoffs with win or losses by MIA and IND. NE is long out of it.] Dolphins fans will be in unusual spot: Cheering for the Patriots to win. NE hasn’t quit, as Buffalo learned last week. But Chargers, with stakes and a rest/prep edge after playing last Thursday, should handle Pats in this first of three Saturday games. @Bengals (7-8, -3 1/2) over Broncos (9-6), 27-23: [Playoff impact: DEN clinches playoffs with win. CIN is alive but must win and get help.] If Chargers win earlier Saturday, Miami would be eliminated from playoff contention with a Denver win in this middle of three Saturday tilts. Been a season-long climb from an 0-3 start for Cincy, but Joe Burrow-to-Ja’Marr Chase has been deadly as any combo in NFL. Riding that hot duo at home. @Rams (9-6, -6 1/2) over Cardinals (7-8), 31-17: [Playoff impact: LAR would win division with win and SEA loss. ARI is out.] Arizona clobbered the Rams, 41-10, in September and is a danger in a division spoiler role this time, but we’re feeling payback here in the prime-time cap to Saturday’s tripleheader. Matthew Stafford has led L.A. to four straight wins and the Rams’ D as allowed only 15 total points in past two. @Bills (12-3, -8 1/2) over Jets (4-11), 37-13: [Playoff impact: BUF has clinched division and cannot win No. 1 seed so has little to play for. NYJ is way done.] Kansas City’s Christmas Day win earned the No. 1 seed and bye, so might Buffs limit key starters’ time on field? I’d sooner bet that, after only beating the Jets 23-20 in October and just getting by Pats 24-21 last week, Josh Allen’s Bills (7-0 at home) will be out to generate momentum heading into playoffs. Raiders (3-12, -1) over @Saints (5-10), 19-17: [Playoff impact: None. Both are out.] N’Awlins getting QB Derek Carr back from hand injury to face his ex-team would spice an otherwise bland matchup, but it was looking on Thursday like Spencer Rattler again. Vegas has been bad on road but is still playing hard and the offense cooks a bit better with Aidan O’Connell. So lean there in a near-pick-’em game. Colts (7-8, -7 1/2) over @Giants (2-13), 27-16: [Playoff impact: IND is alive but cannot clinch here. NYG were eliminated in the Cretaceous Period.] A Colts loss here would benefit Miami — if Broncos or Chargers lose Saturday to keep Fins’ hopes alive. Giants have lost 10 straight, only covering the spread once, and are NFL’s only winless home team (0-8) in nightmare year for Brian Daboll. Indy QB Anthony Richardson is banged up but Jonathan Taylor will lope for miles on NYG’s awful run-D. Dolphins (7-8, -6 1/2) over @Browns (3-12), 24-16: [Playoff impact: To stay alive, MIA must have DEN or LAC lose on Saturday and then beat the Browns. CLE of course is way eliminated.] Miami will know before kickoff if their game in the cold of Cleveland is must-win or meaningless. Denver and the L.A. Chargers both play Saturday and at least one needs to lose. If both win the Fins are finished no matter their result on the shore of Lake Erie. Miami won these teams’ last meeting in 2022 but lost its most recent trip to Cleveland in ‘19. The Dolphins are only 2-5 on the road and Tua Tagovailoa’s track record in cold weather is dismal. Sunday’s afternoon-into-evening clime in Cleve is forecast for high 40s but with a likelihood of rain — dismal in my book. Still like Miami, especially with Browns’ QB straits. Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) and the demoted Jameis Winston (shoulder) both are hobbled, though DTR is expected to start. Browns have scored 17 points or fewer in 11 of their 12 losses. Now top targets Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku also are both are iffy to play, while Fins hope to have Jaylen Waddle back. @Eagles (12-3, -7 1/2) over Cowboys (7-8), 23-17: [Playoff impact: PHI has clinched playoffs and can win division with win here and loss by WAS. DAL is out.] These NFC East rivals both entered season with sky-high hopes. One of them has lived up. Tough pick here, though, because Birds QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) was very iffy as of Thursday and backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) also was limited. Behind door No. 3: One Tanner McKee. Meanwhile Cowboys are good fit for spoilers, as Tampa learned last week, and Cooper Rush has played well lately. Hunch Philly finds a way, but lean ‘Boys on the cover. @Buccaneers (8-7, -8) over Panthers (4-11), 27-23: [Playoff impact: TB is alive for division title but cannot clinch here. CAR is way done.] Bucs have beaten Cats four in a row and eight of past nine but needed OT to sneak by on Dec. 1. Atlanta owns tiebreaker edge in NFC South, so could be division title-or-bust for Tampa. Carolina has been competitive second half of season, but this is must-win home test Baker Mayfield’s Bucs. Titans (3-12, -1) over @Jaguars (3-12), 17-14: [Playoff impact: Ha! You’re kidding, right?] With teams this level of bad, games are typically lost by mistakes more than won with great plays. So this is a telling trend I’m saddling up: Tennessee’s defense has collected seven takeaways in past three games. Jacksonville’s offense has sloppied to a minus-seven turnover margin in its past four games. Lions (13-2, -3 1/2) over @49ers (6-9), 30-20: [Playoff impact: DET clinches playoffs’ No. 1 NFC seed and bye with a win and a MIN loss. SF is eliminated.] This NFC championship game rematch was supposed to be a great one for Monday night. But one team failed to hold up its end. Detroit has NFL’s only perfect road record (7-0) and should maintain that. Niners are dangerous as spoilers and could capitalize on Lions’ defensive injuries, but Jared Goff and this Motown offense (now with heaver doses of Jahmyr Gibbs) outscore just about everybody in its path.
