A federal court has frozen the extensive tariffs imposed by President Trump on nearly all foreign nations, ruling they exceeded his legal authority. The U.S. Court of International Trade determined that the tariffs, justified under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, were unconstitutional as they aimed to address trade imbalances rather than emergencies. The Trump administration plans to appeal the ruling, which is part of his second-term agenda to bolster U.S. manufacturing amid ongoing legal challenges from businesses and states opposing the tariffs.
