US Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs: A Win for Canada?

A U.S. court has dealt a blow to President Donald Trump's trade policies, striking down many of his tariffs. The ruling has significant implications for Canada, which will see some tariffs remain while others are lifted. The case, brought by five U.S. businesses, challenged Trump's use of emergency powers to impose the tariffs. "The president exceeded his authority," said the court. The White House has vowed to fight the ruling, promising to appeal the decision. Jeffrey Schwab, a lawyer involved in the case, expressed confidence in the ruling. "The law is very clear," Schwab stated. An international trade lawyer from McMillan LLP, William Pellerin, called the ruling "very good news for Canada." The White House spokesperson countered that it is not for unelected judges to decide on national emergencies, and that the administration will use every lever of executive power to address the crisis and restore American greatness. The decision leaves some tariffs in place, but it marks a significant setback for Trump's trade agenda, and a potential win for Canada.
