US EditionWhite House Grapples with Whiplash Legal Rulings Hitting Heart of Trump’s Economic Agenda
- On May 28-29, 2025, a three-judge U.S. Court of International Trade blocked President Trump's sweeping tariffs imposed under emergency powers.
- The ruling stemmed from lawsuits arguing Trump overstepped authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act by imposing broad tariffs.
- The court permanently stopped tariffs on nearly all trading partners announced in April, affecting China, the EU, Canada, and Mexico, while some 25% duties remain.
- White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt called the judges' action an abuse of power and vowed to seek Supreme Court emergency relief immediately.
- The decision significantly challenges Trump’s trade agenda, but the administration plans to appeal, and analysts expect the legal battle to continue, possibly to the Supreme Court.
