US EditionPrime Minister Carney ‘welcomes’ U.S. court ruling striking down tariffs
- Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed approval of the unanimous May 28, 2025 decision from a U.S. Trade court in Washington, D.C., which halted President Trump's fentanyl-related tariffs targeting Canada and Mexico.
- The ruling found that Trump exceeded his authority under the 1977 International Economic Emergency Powers Act by imposing broad tariffs on nearly 90 countries, including Canada.
- A three-judge panel, including one Trump appointee, declared the emergency tariff justification unconstitutional, but experts and Canadian business groups say uncertainty remains due to possible appeals and alternative tariff actions.
- Toronto trade lawyer Sean Stephenson called the ruling a well-reasoned setback for the Trump administration but cautioned that "nothing changes overnight" as the appeal process and tariff risks continue.
- Carney emphasized that Canada’s top priority is negotiating a new economic agreement with the U.S. And diversifying trade relations, since courts alone cannot resolve the ongoing trade conflict.
