Assessing the economic and legal context of Trump’s Presidency.

The executive authority of the US President has been steadily increasing. Now, the Trump Administration has unleashed a series of measures that are raising new questions about constraints on executive power.

As US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk continue to implement a swift and ambitious agenda to reform the agencies of the executive branch, and President Trump makes bold use of tariffs to coerce America’s trade partners to change their policies, this panel asks:

  • What guardrails might lead President Trump to change course?
  • What role have federal courts played, and what possible outcomes lie ahead?
  • Will market reaction lead the White House to adopt new policies?
