A U.S. Court of International Trade rules against President Donald Trump’s “10% global” tariff imposed to replace earlier import taxes that the U.S. Supreme Court had already struck down. Multiple outlets report the decision follows a Supreme Court loss earlier this year tied to Trump’s broader tariff approach, after which the administration issued a second round of tariffs in February affecting nearly all U.S. imports. The court ruling is described as a major setback for the administration and a victory for importers and small businesses that challenge the policy.
The news coverage says the Court of International Trade, sitting as a three-judge panel, invalidates the tariff and issues a permanent injunction against it. One outlet reports the panel votes 2–1, finding that Trump overstepped the tariff authority Congress allowed under the relevant law. Other sources describe the ruling as finding the tariffs illegal, with the court treating the second attempt as unlawful despite its replacement nature.
