Most Trump tariffs are not legal, US appeals court rules
The court found that President Trump exceeded constitutional authority by imposing tariffs under emergency powers, challenging a key tool used to pressure trade partners and generate $159 billion in revenue.
- The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that most of President Donald Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional, stating that his authority exceeded the limits under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act .
- Trump's tariffs remain in place until October 14, allowing time for the administration to appeal to the Supreme Court.
- The court's majority opinion asserted that Trump's tariffs are unbounded and violate constitutional limits on tariff power, which contradicts IEEPA's intended scope.
- Legal experts warn this ruling could limit future presidential powers regarding trade by emphasizing that tariff authority rests with Congress, not the president.
