I have previously written about Donald Trump's threatened tariffs against Canada, using Section 338 of the notorious Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930. Today, I am pleased to present a guest post on this subject by Georgetown legal scholars Peter Harrell and Jennifer Hillman. Peter is Visiting Scholar at Georgetown's Institute for International Economic Law, an attorney in private practice, and one of the nation's leading experts on trade law. Jennifer Hillman is a professor of practice at the Georgetown University Law Center, a leading expert on international business and international trade, and co-director of the Center for Inclusive Trade and Development. They both played an important role in helping to develop the arguments that ultimately led to the invalidation of the IEEPA tariffs by the Supreme Court, in a case I helped litigate.
