US trade court blocks Trump's sweeping tariffs
A US trade court has blocked President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, ruling that an emergency law does not allow him to unilaterally impose tariffs on nearly every country. The Court of International Trade stated that Congress has exclusive powers to regulate commerce with other nations. The decision also overturned levies imposed on China, Mexico, and Canada, prompting an appeal from the Trump administration. This ruling addresses the legality of Trump's tariffs and how they impact American businesses and working families.
