One in 7-4 decisionsThe US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit confirmed the lower court’s verdict that Tariff was not authorized by law. Trump had quoted him to justify him.
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorizes the President to release some economic sanctions to combat “unusual and extraordinary threats” in an emergency, but it does not allow the President’s broader steps, the court pronounced the verdict.
“Because we agree that IEEPA has been given a grant to the President’s Authority to ‘import’, which does not authorize the tariffs imposed by executive orders, we confirm,” the court has written.
