US court blocks most Trump tariffs, says president exceeded his authority
- On May 28, 2025, a federal tribunal in New York comprised of three judges halted the majority of President Trump's broad executive orders imposing tariffs.
- A federal court determined that President Trump exceeded his legal authority by declaring a national emergency under a law enacted in 1977 to justify imposing tariffs on nearly all international trading partners.
- Tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobiles, and auto parts imposed under a separate statute, the Trade Expansion Act's Section 232, remain unaffected by the injunction.
- White House officials criticized the ruling; Stephen Miller called it a “judicial coup,” while trade analyst Wendy Cutler said the decision throws presidential trade policy into turmoil.
- The ruling creates legal uncertainty, delaying trade negotiations during a 90-day tariff suspension and likely leading to further appeals, including a potential Supreme Court review.

Trump has other ways to impose tariffs despite US court ruling, Wall Street analysts say
President Trump has several tools at his disposal that he can use to impose tariffs despite a court ruling that ordered the reversal of his hefty “Liberation Day” taxes, according to a note by Goldman Sachs analysts on Thursday.
Two of Wall Street's major investment banks warned that the impact of a court ruling that nullifies many of President Donald Trump's tariff measures could be limited, given that the government has other ways to impose import tariffs. "The tariff levels we had yesterday will probably be the same as we will have tomorrow, because there are many different authorities that the government can resort to to to put the situation back together," said Mic…
