The Court of International Trade ruled that many tariffs imposed by President Trump's administration are invalid, as they exceeded the authority provided by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The ruling affects various tariffs, notably the baseline 10 percent and higher rates on Chinese imports. The government plans to appeal this decision, potentially seeking alternative legal frameworks to maintain tariffs. This environment of ambiguity leaves businesses uncertain about investing or local hiring, while consumers may continue to experience elevated prices and economic slowing in the short term.
