    Trump's tariffs illegal, court rules

    Trump's tariffs will remain in place, pending a Supreme Court ruling

    A US federal appeals court has ruled by 7 votes to 4 that most of President Donald Trump's global tariffs are illegal because the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) invoked by the Republican leader does not grant him the authority to do so. The court affirmed that the power to levy tariffs rests exclusively with Congress.
