Statement of authorization/direction to agencies to act; no single future completion condition.
Paragraph (2) of the January 14, 2026 presidential proclamation explicitly states that, consistent with applicable law and the purpose of the proclamation, the Secretary of Commerce, the U.S. Trade Representative, and the Secretary of Homeland Security "are directed and authorized to take all actions that are appropriate to implement and effectuate this proclamation." It further specifies that these actions include issuing regulations, rules, guidance, and procedures, and the temporary suspension or amendment of regulations within their jurisdictions. This directly matches the claim’s description that these officials are directed and authorized, consistent with law, to implement the proclamation, including issuing guidance and temporarily amending or suspending regulations. The verdict is True because the claim is an accurate paraphrase of the operative directive in the proclamation’s text.
