Most Trump tariffs are not legal, US appeals court rules

  • On August 29, a 7-4 U.S. Court of Appeals ruling struck down most of President Trump's global tariffs as illegal, but kept them in effect until October 14 to allow an appeal.
  • The court ruled that Trump went beyond his legal authority by using emergency economic legislation from 1977 to enforce broad tariffs, a power the law does not clearly grant.
  • The litigation arose from cases filed by small businesses and 12 Democratic-led states challenging the emergency declaration Trump used to justify tariffs aimed at trade deficits and fentanyl flow.
  • Trump denounced the decision as partisan on Truth Social, insisting tariffs remain in effect, warning repeal would cause financial disaster, and pledging to fight to the Supreme Court.
  • The ruling dealt a major blow to Trump's trade policy but leaves tariffs in place for now, positioning the Supreme Court as the ultimate arbiter of presidential tariff powers.
