• The court blocked Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs and cited overreach of constitutional powers.
• Judges say IEEPA can’t justify blanket tariffs; orders ruled unconstitutional.
• Small businesses and states win; Trump administration files appeal after court’s injunction.

In a broad decision, a U.S. trade court halted President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, finding that the administration had overreached its constitutional power by levying universal penalties on goods from trading partners. On Wednesday, the Court of International Trade issued a permanent injunction. They also cited Congress’s only authority to regulate international trade.

The Manhattan-based court ruled that Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose blanket tariffs was impermissible under federal law. The IEEPA is designed to address “unusual and extraordinary” threats during national emergencies, which the court found did not justify the broad tariff implementation.
