The Wall Street Journal called for the president to be sued to prevent tariffs being imposed on Canada and Mexico .

The paper, published by Rupert Murdoch , is usually sympathetic to Republicans but has staunchly opposed Trump 's tariffs.

It argued Trump 's use of a 48-year-old law that includes an emergency provision was not justified.

The only president to successfully impose sweeping tariffs without Congress was Richard Nixon .
