U.S. Court Invalidates Trump's Tariffs for Violation of Constitutional Law

A federal court has invalidated President Donald Trump's tariffs on numerous nations, asserting that his justification through vague national emergency claims surpassed his legal powers. This unanimous decision from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade undermines a key element of Trump's economic strategy, particularly as he seeks to leverage tariffs for global trade negotiations. “This ruling is a triumph not solely for Oregon, but for working families and small enterprises across the nation,” remarked Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. “The Constitution does not grant any president unchecked power to disrupt the economy.” Furthermore, the ruling may compel the government to refund previously collected tariffs. An appeal has been filed, hinting at potential escalation to the Supreme Court.
