What happens next after Trump tariffs ruled illegal?
Published: 8/30/2025

A federal appeals court ruled most of Donald Trump's tariffs illegal, citing an overreach of his emergency powers and rejecting the use of reciprocal tariffs on US trade partners. The tariffs, imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, are on hold until a mid-October appeal to the US Supreme Court. The ruling could impact the US economy and global trade, potentially affecting markets and trade relationships. The decision may also have significant political implications depending on how the Supreme Court rules on the case.
