US Appeals Court Declares Trump's Tariffs Illegal but Permits Them to Remain

The U.S. Appeals Court ruled that Trump’s global tariffs were imposed unlawfully, finding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not grant presidents broad authority for such measures without congressional delegation. However, the court allowed the existing tariffs to stay in place until mid-October, acknowledging potential economic disruption. This decision raises significant concerns about the future of U.S. trade policy and executive power, with potential implications for trade relations, especially regarding China. Trump plans to appeal, framing the ruling as a threat to American economic strength and independence, emphasizing the ongoing constitutional debate over the separation of powers in trade governance.
