US Court Blocks Trump's Global Tariffs: Legal Battle Heads to Supreme Court

A US court has dealt a significant blow to Donald Trump's economic agenda, ruling his imposition of global tariffs unconstitutional. The Court of International Trade's three-judge panel concluded that Trump exceeded his authority by imposing tariffs without proper Congressional approval. This decision, which stems from Trump's April announcement of reciprocal tariffs against numerous countries, has been met with immediate appeal from the Trump administration, setting the stage for a potential Supreme Court showdown. "The President's assertion of tariff-making authority...exceeds any tariff authority delegated to the President," the court stated in its ruling. The White House responded with a statement asserting that it is not the role of unelected judges to determine how to address a national emergency, highlighting the deepening political and legal conflict. The implications of this ruling are far-reaching, potentially impacting global trade relations and further fueling the already intense political climate in the United States.
