US court blocks most Trump tariffs, says president exceeded his authority

  • On Wednesday, a federal trade court determined that President Trump's emergency tariff measures were beyond his legal authority and subsequently blocked most of the tariffs.
  • The court found that the tariffs violated the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which does not provide authority to impose such tariffs.
  • The court sided with a coalition of 12 states and five companies that challenged the planned substantial tariff increases set for April 2, which included a proposed 50 percent tariff on imports from the European Union.
  • Judges allowed the president to apply some tariffs for a limited time but ordered removal of the higher rates within 10 days, with most suspended until July.
  • The ruling could disrupt U.S. Trade and manufacturing plans and is expected to be appealed, potentially reaching the Supreme Court amid ongoing White House trade negotiations.
