The U.S. Court of International Trade previously ruled that President Trump's trade tariffs were not authorized by law, leading to a permanent block. This ruling incited global market volatility and alarmed partners like Canada and Mexico due to concerns over inflation and economic slowdown. A coalition of states, led by Oregon and including NY Attorney General Letitia James, argued that such tariffs require Congressional approval, as they were imposed under an emergency-powers act. However, the Court of Appeals has since paused the Trade Court's decision during the appeal process.
The three judges ruled that none of the tariffs that Trump has imposed are authorized by law, ordering a permanent block on them.
The tariffs, imposed via executive order under an emergency-powers law, shook global markets and threatened longtime alliances, particularly with Canada and Mexico.
