Trade court strikes down a second round of Trump tariffs

NPR reports that the Court of International Trade has struck down a second round of Trump's global tariffs, ruling that the 10% across-the-board import duties exceeded presidential authority under the 1974 Trade Act. This marks the second major judicial blow to Trump's tariff agenda after the Supreme Court previously invalidated an earlier round of import taxes. The reporting is sourced from NPR, a major national outlet with established editorial standards, and bylined to Scott Horsley, though the article body is not visible in the metadata provided. Corroborating coverage from Reuters, USA Today, CNN, and InvestmentNews confirms the court's 2-1 ruling and notes that the decision applies narrowly to plaintiffs who sued, while also providing context about the legal basis of the challenge under the Trade Act. Watch for potential Trump administration appeals or legislative responses, as well as the scope of implementation of the court's order across the broader import landscape.
