US President Donald Trump has been hit with a legal setback after a US federal trade court ruled that his administration’s temporary 10% global tariffs were unlawful. The court said the White House exceeded the powers granted by Congress, declaring the tariffs “invalid” and “unauthorised by law.” The ruling came after small US businesses challenged the duties, arguing they were an attempt to bypass an earlier Supreme Court decision that had already struck down broader Trump tariffs. The case also has international implications.
