Trump Appeals Latest Legal Setback to His Tariff Regime Rollout
President Donald Trump’s 10% global tariffs were declared unlawful by a federal trade court in a fresh blow to the administration’s economic agenda, just months after the US Supreme Court vacated earlier levies he’d imposed.
A divided three-judge panel at the US Court of International Trade in Manhattan on Thursday granted a request by a group of small businesses and two dozen mostly Democrat-led states to find the tariffs invalid. Trump imposed the 10% duties in February under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which had never previously been invoked.
