Trump Tariff War Key News
Central News Agency (Washington, May 7, comprehensive foreign report) The US Court of International Trade today ruled that President Trump's newly implemented global 10% tariffs lack legal basis, deeming the 1970s law he cited insufficient to support the measure.
Agence France-Presse reported that the US Court of International Trade made a 2-1 ruling, applicable to the relevant parties who filed lawsuits against the Trump administration.
Before Trump implemented these temporary tariffs in February this year, the US Supreme Court overturned a series of other tariff measures.
The Trump administration stated that the purpose of these 10% tariffs was to address the balance of payments deficit.
Unless extended by Congress, these tariffs will be in effect until late July; meanwhile, the Trump administration is seeking more permanent ways to rebuild its trade policy framework.
US officials have launched new investigations into dozens of trading partners regarding forced labor and overcapacity issues, which could lead to new tariff measures.
Today's ruling by the US Court of International Trade ordered the defendants to enforce the judgment within 5 days and required refunds of collected tariffs to the plaintiff importers.
However, Trump's additional tariffs on goods from specific industries such as steel, aluminum, and automobiles are not affected by the Supreme Court's ruling. (Compiler: Hsu Jui-cheng) 1150508.
