US trade court says Trump overstepped authority, blocks prez’s tariffs
The US Court of International Trade yesterday ruled that President Trump lacks the authority to impose, using emergency powers, broad tariffs on imports from nations that sell more to the US than they buy. The court said the US constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate external commerce that is not overridden by the president’s emergency powers to safeguard the US economy.
