A U.S. federal court has ruled that Trump overstepped his authority by imposing global tariffs, striking down a key pillar of his economic strategy, according to the BBC. The Court of International Trade ruled that the emergency law cited by the White House does not grant the president unilateral authority to impose broad tariffs. The Manhattan-based court emphasized that only Congress has the constitutional power to regulate foreign commerce, which cannot be overridden by executive claims of economic emergency. The White House criticized the court ruling, asserting that unelected judges should not decide national emergency responses and reaffirmed Trump’s commitment to using executive power to put America First. The Trump administration filed an appeal within minutes of the court’s ruling.
