U.S. Court Declares Trump’s Tariffs Unlawful Due to Lack of Congressional Approval
A U.S. federal court has ruled that former President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by imposing broad tariffs without the approval of Congress.
The decision challenges the legal basis for a series of tariffs introduced during Trump’s administration, which affected global trade and triggered tensions with several countries. The court stated that the executive branch does not have unilateral power to implement such sweeping trade measures under existing law.
Legal experts suggest the ruling could influence future presidential actions on trade policy and underscores the constitutional role of Congress in regulating commerce.
The verdict may open the door to legal challenges or compensation claims by affected industries and trading partners.
