A US court has blocked President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs from taking effect. In a Wednesday ruling, the court ruled that the president overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from countries that sell more to the United States than buy from it.
The Court of International Trade, Manhattan, observed that the US Constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries that are not overridden by the president’s emergency powers to safeguard the country’s economy, reported Reuters.
