US Trade Court Blocks Trump Tariffs, Citing Executive Overreach

A US trade court recently blocked President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs, ruling that the president had exceeded his authority by imposing them. The decision, handed down in a lawsuit brought by the Liberty Justice Center on behalf of several small US businesses, underscores the ongoing tension between executive power and congressional authority on trade issues. "The court ruled that the president overstepped his authority," said a spokesperson for the Liberty Justice Center. The administration, however, maintains that trade deficits are a national emergency and plans to appeal the ruling. This case highlights the complexities of US trade policy and the ongoing debate over the appropriate balance of power between the executive and legislative branches.
