Most Trump tariffs are not legal, US appeals court rules
The court found that President Trump exceeded constitutional authority by imposing tariffs under emergency powers, challenging a key tool used to pressure trade partners and generate $159 billion in revenue.
- A federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump illegally imposed tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as Congress holds the authority to impose such taxes.
- The court's 7-4 decision upholds a previous ruling and allows Trump time to appeal to the Supreme Court before tariffs are potentially struck down.
- Revenue from the tariffs totaled USD 159 billion by July, and Trump warned that removing them would cause financial ruin for the United States.
