Trump Administration May Appeal
A U.S. federal court has issued a ruling to halt the reciprocal tariff measures declared by President Donald Trump on 'Liberation Day.'
According to Bloomberg News and the Associated Press on the 28th (local time), the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York issued a ruling blocking the reciprocal tariff measures announced by President Trump during the 'Liberation Day' event on the 2nd of last month.
The court determined that President Trump's blanket imposition of tariffs on countries that export more to the United States and import less from it exceeded his authority. The court stated, "The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and this authority takes precedence over the President's emergency powers."
The Trump administration can appeal this ruling to the federal court.
In addition to this lawsuit, a total of seven cases challenging President Trump's tariff policy are pending in court, filed by 13 state governments and several small and medium-sized business associations.
