The U.S. President, Donald Trump said that he has the authority to order the companies of the United States to end their business with China under a 1977 law.

So, one must have a look at the IEEPA 1977.
President Authority under IEEPA
The latest remarks of Donald Trump once again raise the question of how far the authority of President goes under the IEEPA. Formerly in May, Trump threatened Mexico to slap with punitive tariffs if it did not slow the migrants’ passage from Central America to the United States. According to the Congressional Research Service, the IEEPA has never begged to enforce tariffs, and U.S. President finally drew back at the last minute.
According to the CRS analysis, the IEEPA passed in the wake of Vietnam and Watergate that gives Donald Trump extensive authority to legalize range of economic transactions succeeding a national emergency declaration. Those powers of President can used to deal with any extraordinary and strange threat to the national security, economy, or foreign policy of the United States.
The President has to consult with Congress under the IEEPA before authority invoking and announcing a national emergency, have to send a report to tell the reason for the declaration.
