The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled unanimously that President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on various countries breached his legal authority. The court's decision hinged on the major questions and nondelegation doctrines, interpreting the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) narrowly. This ruling not only mandates the suspension of tariffs imposed but also requires the government to consider repaying already collected tariff duties. The decision specifically pertains to tariffs enacted through IEEPA, while tariffs from other laws remain unaffected, marking another legal challenge to Trump's economic policies.
The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs.
Any interpretation of IEEPA that delegates unlimited tariff authority is unconstitutional.
