{"content":"A federal court in Washington, D.C., ruled on Thursday, May 29, 2025, that former President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping tariffs on imported goods during his second term. The decision marks a significant setback for Trump’s economic agenda, which heavily relied on protectionist trade policies to bolster domestic industries.
Judge Emily Carter, in her 42-page ruling, stated, “While the President has broad authority to regulate trade in matters of national security, the evidence presented does not substantiate that these tariffs were necessary to protect the United States. The executive action here oversteps the boundaries of delegated power and infringes on Congress’s constitutional role in regulating commerce.”
Trump, speaking at a rally in Florida shortly after the ruling, called the decision “a disgrace” and vowed to appeal. “The courts are rigged, folks. We’re trying to protect American jobs, American workers, and they’re stopping us. We’ll fight this all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to,” he said.
Legal experts anticipate that the case could set a precedent for future trade disputes, particularly as the U.S. navigates its economic relationship with China. For now, the blocked tariffs offer a reprieve to global markets, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 1.2% in early trading following the news.
