US EditionHouse Republican on Trump Tariffs Power: "Constitution Is Clear"
- The Court of International Trade ruled that the President lacks the authority to impose massive tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, which does not grant unbounded authority.
- The ruling does not eliminate all of President Trump's tariff power, as tariffs under other acts, such as the Trade Expansion Act, still remain in effect.

- Kush Desai, a spokesman for the White House, stated, 'It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency,' underscoring the administration's challenge to the ruling.
