**BREAKING: U.S. Trade Court Blocks Trump’s Sweeping 10% Global Tariff Plan
A major legal setback hit former President Donald Trump on Thursday after a U.S. trade court ruled against his proposed 10% global tariff policy, finding that the administration exceeded its legal authority in attempting to impose broad import taxes without congressional approval.
The court’s decision comes after months of legal challenges from business groups, trade organizations, and import-dependent industries that argued the tariff plan would sharply raise consumer prices and disrupt international trade relationships.
In its ruling, the panel stated that federal law does not grant unlimited power to impose sweeping global tariffs under emergency economic authorities, especially when the measures affect nearly all imported goods regardless of national security considerations.
Trump allies quickly criticized the ruling, calling it politically motivated and harmful to American manufacturing. Supporters of the decision, however, praised the court for reinforcing constitutional limits on executive power and protecting businesses from what they described as economically risky trade policies.
Economists say the blocked tariff could have significantly increased costs for electronics, automobiles, household goods, and industrial materials if implemented. Financial markets reacted cautiously following the announcement, while several major trading partners welcomed the decision.
Trump’s legal team is expected to appeal the ruling, setting up what could become another high-profile court battle over presidential trade powers ahead of the 2026 political season.
