Court Blocks Trump’s Tariffs
- Major ruling against Trump’s trade agenda
- ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs frozen
- Administration appeals decision
A federal trade court has dealt a major blow to President Donald Trump’s global tariff plan. The court ruled Trump didn’t have the authority to impose certain sweeping tariffs, including the controversial ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs and earlier levies on China, Mexico, and Canada. The ruling found that the emergency powers law Trump cited doesn’t allow for tariff imposition. The Trump administration has already appealed, but for now, most of those tariffs are on hold.
