A United States trade court on Thursday, May 7, ruled against President Donald Trump's newest 10% global tariff, saying it was not justified under the 1970s law cited in its implementation. The US Court of International Trade ruling was 2-1, and applies to the parties who sued the administration.
Trump imposed the temporary duty in February after the Supreme Court struck down a swath of other tariffs. The 10% duty was meant to deal with balance of payments deficits, according to the Trump administration.
