Trump tariffs blocked by US court ruling: What does it mean? | ITV News

29th May 2025

A US court has blocked Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports in a major blow to the president's economic plans.

The ruling from a three-judge panel came after several lawsuits arguing Trump has exceeded his authority, leaving the country's trade policy dependent on his whims.

Trump says he has the power to act because the country's trade deficits amounted to a national emergency, and he said the sweeping import levies on nearly every country would bring factory jobs back to the US.
