Trump’s Tariffs Declared Illegal: Constitutional Questions Raised in Landmark Court Ruling

In a major legal development, the U.S. appellate court has ruled that President Donald Trump’s tariffs are illegal. This decision throws into question a cornerstone of his economic strategy and political agenda, potentially leaving him with limited means to protect American industries. The ruling underscores that presidential power to impose trade taxes is restricted by the Constitution, which grants this authority to Congress rather than the executive branch. This case represents a significant clash between Trump’s protectionist approach and the principle of congressional oversight in economic policy.
