A federal court has blocked several tariffs imposed by President Trump, ruling that he exceeded his authority by invoking an emergency law. The Court of International Trade in New York determined that the power to impose tariffs lies with Congress, not the president. This ruling may significantly alter Trump's trade policies, which aimed to reduce the US trade deficit and bring manufacturing jobs back to the US. The court emphasized that federal law does not support unilateral tariff imposition, irrespective of the effectiveness of such measures.
The Court of International Trade ruled that an emergency law invoked by Trump does not grant him unilateral authority to impose certain tariffs.
Experts believe the ruling could disrupt Trump's sweeping trade policies, as the court stated that the power to impose tariffs resides with Congress, not the president.
