Most Trump tariffs are not legal, US appeals court rules

A federal appeals court invalidated most tariffs imposed by President Trump under emergency powers, citing constitutional limits and highlighting potential refunds of $142 billion in collected tariffs.

  • The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that most of President Donald Trump's tariffs are unlawful, stating that they exceed the authority granted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act .
  • The court's decision is on hold until October 14, allowing the Trump administration time to appeal to the Supreme Court.
  • In a 7-4 ruling, the court found that the tariffs were unconstitutional, as only Congress has the authority to levy taxes. This ruling could require the U.S. to repay billions in tariffs.
  • Trump criticized the judges as 'Highly Partisan' and claimed, 'ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!' asserting that removing tariffs would harm the country.
