****BREAKING**** Appeals Court Finds Many Tariffs Were Issued Illegally [View all]
A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that many of President Trump’s most punishing tariffs are illegal, delivering a major new setback to the administration that may severely undercut its primary source of leverage in an expanding global trade war.
The ruling, from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, affirmed a lower court’s finding that Mr. Trump does not possess unlimited power under the law to impose taxes on nearly all U.S. imports. But the appellate judges delayed the implementation of their order until October to grant the administration time to seek review by the Supreme Court, which would allow Mr. Trump to keep his contested duties in place for now.
