thebalanced.newsUS Court Rules Against Trump's Tariffs; Administration Appeals and Seeks Continuation
The US Court of International Trade ruled that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by imposing 10% tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, invalidating the tariffs for specific complainants. The Trump administration has appealed and requested to continue collecting tariffs during the legal process, warning of widespread claims if halted. Trump criticized the Supreme Court's ruling, particularly Republican-appointed justices, claiming it cost the US $159 billion and expressing concerns over future judicial decisions.
