On May 28, 2025, the Court of International Trade issued a permanent injunction against President Trump's tariffs, saying they exceeded presidential authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Federal Circuit temporarily stayed this ruling while considering the merits of the appeal. Central to the decision is the constitutional principle that Congress holds the power to set tariffs, with some delegated authority to the President during national emergencies. This case highlights a critical challenge to executive trade powers.
The Court's decision struck down both President Trump's 'Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariffs' and his 'Trafficking Tariffs' as exceeding congressional delegation of authority.
The dispute addresses fundamental questions about the scope of presidential emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), highlighting a significant challenge to executive trade authority.
