A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Donald Trump overreached when he unilaterally imposed tariffs on imports from more than 100 countries. CNNās Elie Honig called the development āa huge setbackā for the president.
In a unanimous decision issued on Wednesday, judges halted the presidentās tariffs with a permanent injunction. The ruling nullifies Trumpās 30% tariff on Chinese goods, the 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, and the baseline 10% tariffs Trump imposed on most countries on April 2, or āLiberation Day,ā as he called it. In issuing those tariffs, Trump bypassed Congress by citing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Tariffs on automobiles and steel will remain.
The lawsuit was filed by Liberty Justice Center, a libertarian legal advocacy group.
Just putting it out there, but the only reason this ruling was even possible was because of democratic states suing the government. So the first step has been taken and Republicans werenāt the ones doing it. We can removed about Democrats all you want, but this is a direct result of their actions.
