Trump's Tariffs Deemed Illegal: US Court Strikes Down Trade Levies

The US International Trade Court has issued a landmark ruling, declaring nearly all tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump to be illegal. This decision, which has immediate effect, overturns tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. The ruling came after lawsuits challenged Trump's authority to impose these tariffs, arguing that he exceeded his powers and caused significant economic disruption. "The court found that Trump's use of emergency powers to justify the tariffs was unlawful," said legal expert, [Expert Name]. The tariffs, which included a 25% levy on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 20% tariff on Chinese imports, had a significant impact on international trade. While the ruling provides relief to importers, a 10-day period is allowed for the implementation of necessary administrative orders. The government may still attempt to apply the tariffs during this time. This decision highlights the importance of checks and balances within the US government and the potential consequences of exceeding presidential authority.
