U.S. Trade Court Rules 10% Global Tariff Unlawful
"10% Global Tariff Not Justified"
The U.S. District Court has ruled that the "global 10% tariff" imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump to replace reciprocal tariffs is also unlawful.
According to the New York Times on May 7 (local time), the U.S. Court of International Trade found that the Trump administration's newly imposed 10% global tariff on all trading partners worldwide is not justified under Section 122 of the Trade Act.
The New York Times pointed out that this serves as a legal check by the judiciary on the White House's initiation of a trade war without explicit congressional authorization.
