Maduro says he's still president of Venezuela.
His lawyers signal they may challenge.
the narco-terrorism and cocaine charges by arguing Maduro's entitled a head of state immunity.
A court in New York will have to determine whether Maduro can be considered the legitimate leader of the country, but U.S.
presidents enjoy a lot of leeway in foreign affairs, including which governments to recognize.
Legal scholars say Maduro might have an argument that he deserves immunity for possible official acts in the indictment, such as using the military to organize flights.
Two years ago, the U.S.
Supreme Court gave President Trump and future American presidents substantial immunity for their official acts in office.
Carrie Johnson, NPR News, Washington.
Yeah.
Central part of Trump's agenda, the sweeping tariff plan.
He put it into place early in his administration and he's relying on a law from the 1970s called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
even though that law does not mention the word tariffs and it has not been used for that purpose since it was established by Congress.
And so the big question here is whether that law can carry the weight of all of these tariffs the president has imposed.
It's important to note that when this case was argued before the Supreme Court, even some of the conservative justices expressed concern about it and how much power it gave the executive branch.
Of course, Congress is really supposed to be in charge of appropriations and things like that.
So it's a big question moving forward how or if this will survive Supreme Court review.
There are a bunch of off-ramps the court could take here.
They could rule very narrowly, allowing Trump to use different laws or statutes to reimpose tariffs.
And they could rule in ways that would only affect monies moving forward.
