The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that many of Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional, issuing a nationwide injunction to halt them indefinitely. The unanimous panel of judges concluded that Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and warned of the potential violation of the Constitution. This ruling represents a significant setback for Trump's economic strategy and a clear delineation of legislative powers regarding tariffs, reaffirming that Congress maintains the authority over such decisions.
The court said that Trump could not issue these sweeping tariffs... under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
The judges appointed by Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump on the panel... this was not a partisan decision.
The court's ruling effectively marks a significant constitutional check on presidential power over tariffs.
This decision threatens Trump's ability to remake the American economy through the unilateral imposition of massive tariffs.
