President’s Authority Challenged in Trade Dispute

  • US court blocks Trump’s global tariffs
  • Court rules president exceeded authority under IEEPA
  • Trump administration files appeal to Supreme Court

US President Donald Trump’s global tariffs have been blocked by a trade court, with the Court of International Trade ruling that he exceeded his authority to impose higher taxes on imports from specific countries last month. The court found that Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) was not a valid reason for the tariffs, stating that it ‘exceeds any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs.’ The Trump administration filed an appeal minutes after the ruling, potentially escalating the case to the Supreme Court. The White House responded with a statement asserting that it is not for ‘unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency.’
