A US federal court said President Donald Trump overstepped his authority when he invoked a section of a 1974 trade law to enact the 10% global tariff policy.

Trump imposed the temporary 10% duty in February under a national emergency law, shortly after the Supreme Court struck down even broader double-digit tariffs the president had levied in 2025 on most nations around the world.
In a 2-1 ruling, the panel of judges at the US Court of International Trade found the administration lacked the justification to enact tariffs under Section 122 of Trade Act 1974.
