The Trump administration is standing firm on its global tariff policies despite a federal court ruling that struck down its emergency tariffs on multiple countries. The Court of International Trade ruled on Wednesday night that Trump had exceeded his authority in implementing these tariffs.
The administration imposed the tariffs under the 1977 International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA), claiming that the significant trade deficit constituted a national emergency. The same act was used to implement separate tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico regarding fentanyl and undocumented migration concerns.
