The legal case against President Donald Trump’s tariffs is mounting, with two federal courts ruling that his novel approach of imposing sweeping tariffs on imported goods is illegal.
Late Wednesday, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order permanently blocking Trump’s tariffs.
“There is no question here of narrowly tailored relief; if the challenged Tariff Orders are unlawful as to Plaintiffs they are unlawful as to all,” the trade court wrote in an unsigned opinion.
