US Trade Court Hears Trump Tariff Arguments
A US trade court scrutinized the legality of President Trump tariffs imposed over forced labor concerns. Businesses and states argue the administration exceeded its authority.
A three-judge panel in the United States scrutinized global tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% applied across 60 trading partners on Wednesday afternoon. The legal challenge tests the executive branch's authority following a Supreme Court ruling striking down previous broad levies. Plaintiffs argue the administration bypassed statutory requirements to justify duties imposed over forced labor concerns.
