Court: Trump overstepped tariff powers

A federal appeals court ruled President Trump misused his authority by imposing tariffs under an emergency-powers statute, stating only Congress can enact such measures. The court found that the Constitution vests the power to impose tariffs exclusively with the legislative branch. However, the tariffs will remain in place while the case proceeds. This ruling affects specific tariffs imposed on goods from China, Canada, and Mexico, but not those implemented under other trade laws. The administration is expected to appeal the decision.
