Appeals Court Strikes Down Majority of Trump’s Tariffs, Case Likely Headed to Supreme Court
A federal appeals court has invalidated most of former President Donald Trump's global import tariffs, ruling the measures exceeded presidential authority. The 7-4 decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upholds an earlier ruling from the Court of International Trade, which found the tariffs lacked proper congressional authorization.
The controversial tariffs, implemented through executive orders citing national security concerns under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, will remain in place pending a likely Supreme Court appeal. Legal experts anticipate a high-stakes constitutional showdown over the scope of presidential trade powers.
