US trade court rules against Trump's 10% global tariffs
The panel said the administration lacked legal authority under a 1974 trade law and ordered refunds for the small-business plaintiffs.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against President Donald Trump's 10% global tariffs, finding them unjustified under a 1974 trade law.
- President Trump invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 on February 24, citing authority to correct "balance of payments deficits" or avert dollar depreciation.
- Judges ruled the administration lacked sufficient justification under the law, following the Supreme Court's invalidation of prior tariffs earlier this year.
- The ruling requires the administration to stop collecting the 10% duties from plaintiffs and issue refunds, with payments expected to start next week.
- Though the 2-1 vote included a dissenting judge who argued victory was premature, the decision constrains the executive branch's tariff-enacting capacity going forward.
