UPDATE: Goldman Sachs analyst says court ruling stopping tariffs a 'Nothingburger", that The White House can sidestep.
"This ruling represents a setback for the administration's tariff plans... but might not change the final outcome for most major US trading partners."
A U.S. trade court blocked most of President Donald Trump's tariffs in a sweeping ruling on Wednesday that found the president overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from U.S. trading partners, reported Reuters.
The Court of International Trade said the U.S. Constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries that is not overridden by the president's emergency powers to safeguard the U.S. economy.
"The court does not pass upon the wisdom or likely effectiveness of the President's use of tariffs as leverage," a three-judge panel said in the decision to issue a permanent injunction on the blanket tariff orders issued by Trump since January. "That use is impermissible not because it is unwise or ineffective, but because [federal law] does not allow it."
The court invalidated with immediate effect all of Trump's orders on tariffs since January that were rooted in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a law meant to address "unusual and extraordinary" threats during a national emergency.
The ruling gave the White House 10 days to complete the bureaucratic process of halting the tariffs
The White House responded by saying that unelected judges have no right to decide how to properly handle a national emergency.
While the Constitution grants Congress the power to impose tariffs, Congress delegated much of that power to the Executive Branch in the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which allows for adjustments to tariff rates without needing Congressional action. Courts have given the executive branch broad authority to negotiate trade, that is until now. @charliekirk
The Trump administration has filed an appeal.
Financial markets are higher on the news, but the relief may be temporary based on appeal.
