AsianFin -- A U.S. trade court on Wednesday halted President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs, ruling that the president exceeded his authority by imposing blanket duties on imports from countries with trade surpluses over the United States.
The Court of International Trade, based in Manhattan, stated that the U.S. Constitution grants Congress exclusive power to regulate foreign commerce — a power that cannot be overridden by the president’s emergency economic powers.
The decision marks a significant legal setback for Trump’s trade strategy, which has frequently relied on executive authority to reshape U.S. trade policy.
