US EditionWhat Is the Court of International Trade? And Why Can It Strike Down Trump's Tariffs?
- The Court of International Trade in New York struck down most of President Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, and over 50 countries on Wednesday.
- The court ruled Trump overstepped his authority by using the 1977 International Economic Emergency Powers Act instead of the correct law for addressing trade deficits.
- Three judges appointed by different presidents unanimously agreed the tariffs aimed to counter trade imbalances, which Congress requires be addressed under a different statute.

- The Trump administration plans to appeal, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the court for usurping presidential authority and called the tariffs legally sound.
