US court blocks most Trump tariffs, says president exceeded his authority

  • On Wednesday, a federal court blocked most of President Trump's emergency tariffs on imports, ruling he exceeded his authority in New York.
  • The court ruled after lawsuits claimed that Trump's tariffs exceeded his authority under the emergency powers law enacted in 1977 and infringed on the role of Congress.
  • The decision suspended the higher tariff rates proposed in April, requiring the White House to remove the blocked tariffs within ten days while allowing some limited tariffs.
  • The judges concluded that the President’s power under IEEPA does not extend to imposing tariffs through the Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders, marking a clear legal rejection of those measures.
  • The ruling challenges Trump's trade agenda, rattles markets, and indicates the dispute may reach the Supreme Court as the administration continues to appeal.
