Federal Court Blocks Trump From Imposing Most of His Tariffs, Rules He Exceeded His Authority to Impose Tariffs Under IEEPA – Trump Admin Appeals
A recent ruling from the Court of International Trade in New York has determined that President Trump exceeded his authority by imposing tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977. This decision temporarily halts several significant tariffs previously enacted by Trump.
• The court stated that Trump’s tariffs, including a 30% tariff on China and 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, were beyond his legal authority.
• The ruling does not affect the 25% tariffs on autos, auto parts, steel, or aluminum imposed under a different law.
• A previous ruling by U. S. District Court Judge T. Kent Wetherell supported that Trump may have had authority under IEEPA but did not issue an order and transferred the case to the Court of International Trade.
• The recent ruling by a three-judge panel at the Court of International Trade effectively stops Trump's tariffs, including those referred to as “Liberation Day” tariffs.
• The three judges involved in the ruling included appointees from Presidents Obama, Trump, and Reagan.
• Trump's administration has signaled an intention to appeal the court’s decision.
The court's ruling represents a significant legal setback for Trump’s tariff policies, and the administration is expected to respond with an appeal.
