Legal Whiplash: Judicial Reinstatement of Trump’s Tariffs Sparks Constitutional Confrontation
On May 30, 2025, a federal appeals court delivered a dramatic reprieve to President Trump’s tariffs, temporarily reinstating duties that a lower court had struck down as exceeding presidential authority. Originally imposed on April 2, 2025, under broad proclamations of “national emergencies,” these tariffs ranged from 10 percent on Chinese imports to 25 percent on select Mexican and Canadian goods. The underlying legal conflict spotlights deep tensions between executive power and judicial oversight, raising fundamental questions about separation of powers in trade policy.
Breaking Analysis: U.S. Trade Court Invalidates Trump’s Liberation Day Tariffs, Citing Executive Overreach
On May 28, 2025, the United States Court of International Trade issued a landmark ruling in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump, striking down the so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs imposed by former President Donald J. Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). These sweeping levies—ranging from a baseline 10 % duty on most imports to as high as 145 % on Chinese goods—were announced via Executive Order 14257 on April 2, 2025, and justified as an emergency response to persistent trade imbalances and threats to domestic manufacturing. However, the court found that the president had exceeded the authority delegated by Congress, permanently enjoining enforcement of the tariffs and ordering U.S. Customs and Border Protection to cease collections under the challenged orders (Restani, J., May 28, 2025).
