Federal Court Overturns President Trump's Tariffs, Citing Overreach

A federal court has delivered a sweeping decision that dismantles President Donald Trump’s controversial tariff program, ruling that he overstepped his executive powers in imposing broad trade restrictions.

The ruling invalidates key tariffs implemented during Trump’s administration, including a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, a 20% tariff on Chinese imports, and a 10% baseline tariff affecting a wide array of U.S. trading partners. The court found that these tariffs lacked a clear connection to any “unusual and extraordinary threat,” a condition required for invoking emergency powers under the IEEPA. Read More…
