A federal appeal court Said on friday Many comprehensive tariffs imposed by President Trump in dozens of countries earlier this year are not legally acceptable.
The ruling will not immediately block the tariff, but this is a significant shock to Mr. Trump’s signature business strategy.

However, the appellate judges vacated the prohibition of the lower court, in which the tariff was completely blocked, directed the court to re -evaluate whether universal relief is appropriate.
The ruling applies to a series of executive orders of April 10% baseline tariffs were installed in it In fact, on every country and dozens of business partners on high “mutual” tariffs.
