What the Hell Do This Week’s Whiplash Tariff Rulings Actually Mean?

Trump’s tariffs have been deemed unconstitutional by a federal court, despite efforts to justify them. The court ruled that these tariffs exceeded the authority granted under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Although the initial ruling was overturned, the case is set to be argued further in June. The courts have consistently found Trump’s actions to be unconstitutional, emphasizing that only Congress has the power to impose tariffs. The ongoing trade war and legal battles highlight the need for adherence to constitutional processes.
