Tariffs court fight threatens Trump's power to wield his favourite economic weapon
A court ruling challenges President Trump's authority to impose tariffs unilaterally, affecting his ability to use tariffs as an economic weapon. Trump's unpredictable trade policy has led to fluctuating tariff rates against countries, causing uncertainty in markets. The court decision to remove tariffs was appealed by the White House, arguing that restricting Trump's tariff power could hinder trade negotiations. Despite the legal challenges, Trump's tariffs have had a significant impact on the global economic order and reshaped the US trade agenda.
