A US trade court ruled on Thursday against the 10% global tariff that Trump imposed in February. The decision currently applies only to companies that sued the government, but sets a precedent for other challenges.
Trump imposed the 10% global tariff in February after the Supreme Court struck down an important part of his new tariffs. The court ruled that the surcharge was not justified under a 1970s law that was invoked for its implementation.
