Stop outsourcing, and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower2024 Republican Party Platform
The record
- Said
Republicans will support baseline Tariffs on Foreign-made goods, pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, and respond to unfair Trading practices.
2024 Republican Platform, Chapter FiveDidImposed sweeping tariffs by emergency decree instead of passing the promised law. The Supreme Court struck them down, 6–3.
The platform promised Congress would pass a Reciprocal Trade Act. Instead, the broad 2025 tariffs were imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. In Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump (Feb. 20, 2026), the Court held that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, and those tariffs ended February 24, 2026. The tariffs were a promise kept; the method bypassed Congress and did not survive court review.
