US federal court blocks Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs
Ruling from court of international trade in New York comes after slew of lawsuits arguing president exceeded authoritywww.theguardian.com
Financial markets welcomed a U.S. court ruling that blocks President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law.
U.S. futures jumped early Thursday and oil prices rose more than $1. The U.S. dollar rose against the yen and euro.
The court found the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Trump has cited as his basis for ordering massive increases in import duties, does not authorize the use of tariffs.
The White House immediately appealed and it was unclear if Trump would abide by the ruling in the interim. The long term outcome of legal disputes over tariffs remains uncertain. But investors appeared to take heart after the months of turmoil brought on by Trump's trade war.
Fascinated to see how we wiggles out of this one. Bus is about to hit Bessent or Lutnick tho.
