This is not fair to him since he should have someone to help on these policy issues. But, he could have used his power to delegate and appoint a cabinet member or is there a Secretary of the Interior or the Treasury? He did not use his power to delegate or seek an opinion from these members of his cabinet if they had been appointed. He spoke and acted unilaterally without any mature, responsible considering of the existing tariff treaties. Tariffs have been addressed in the national power to make treaties which is the power of the Congress; not the executive exclusively although the executive has some power to discuss and levy tariffs. He does not have the power to abrogate what is law and amend existing tariffs unilaterally; when the tariff is part of a tax treaty with a signed intention to stay in place for 300 years; as agreed between the parties that would be a compensatory treaty breach. The point of the treaty is business certainty. He would have to renominate the treaty.

In the United States, the U.S. Constitution grants the power to impose tariffs exclusively to Congress. This authority is explicitly stated in Article I, Section 8, which gives Congress the power "To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises" and "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations". 
However, over time, Congress has passed various laws that delegate some of this tariff-setting authority to the President, subject to specific conditions and restrictions. 
Legislation such as the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974 allows the President to impose tariffs under certain conditions, such as national security concerns or unfair trade practices by other nations. Another law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977, has also been used for tariff imposition, although this has faced legal challenges. While the President has these delegated powers, Congress retains the core constitutional authority and can modify the President's tariff-setting ability through new laws. 

He is entitled to have opinions but to continually say he has changed the rules, applied the Tariffs then changed his mind, never really applied it at any new % and then he says he applied or is applying a tariff again was negligent, a very expensive and irresponsible set of misstatements and he should or ought to have known it was cost worthy in its destabilizing impact.   As such, it is to allege now a deliberate, serious, malicious crime of  fraud.  No one would let a serious paid government employee make statements like this without consequence.  There is consequence. Why didn't he do his work before he opened his....phone?

The tort is the tort of negligent misstatement. 

 . The five key elements of negligent misrepresentation are: a duty of care, a false or misleading representation, negligence in making the representation, reasonable reliance on the misrepresentation, and resulting damages. Essentially, a false statement must be made carelessly in a situation where there is a duty to be accurate, the other party must reasonably rely on that statement, and that reliance must cause harm. 

Elements of negligent misrepresentation
  • Duty of care: A "special relationship" must exist between the parties, creating a duty to provide accurate information. 
  • False representation: The statement made was untrue, inaccurate, or misleading. 
  • Negligence: The person making the statement acted negligently and failed to take reasonable care to ensure its accuracy. 
  • Reasonable reliance: The other party must have reasonably relied on the false statement. 
  • Damages: The reliance on the misrepresentation must have resulted in financial or other harm.
