A federal appeals court has declared that President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs were illegally imposed, finding that he lacked the authority to declare national emergencies for such actions, marking a significant constitutional victory.
Although the court ruled the tariffs unconstitutional, they remain in effect for now, leaving critical economic implications hanging in the balance.
Legal expert Neal Katyal hailed the ruling as a triumph for constitutional integrity and a blow to Trump's trade agenda, reflecting the broader struggles between presidential power and judicial oversight.
The ruling has sparked intense discussions about the limits of executive authority and the judicial system's role in checking it, potentially reshaping future economic policies.
The decision is part of a larger legal landscape where Trump faces multiple challenges, including immigration policies and efforts to influence independent agencies like the Federal Reserve.
Speculation mounts about appeals to the Supreme Court, with future rulings poised to further impact Trump's governance and the scope of presidential power.
