"10% Global Tariff Not Justified"
The U.S. District Court has ruled that the "global 10% tariff" imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump to replace reciprocal tariffs is also unlawful.

The New York Times pointed out that this serves as a legal check by the judiciary on the White House's initiation of a trade war without explicit congressional authorization.
