WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal court ruled Thursday against the new global tariffs that President Donald Trump imposed after a stinging loss at the Supreme Court.

A split three-judge panel of the Court of International Trade in New York found the 10% global tariffs were illegal after small businesses sued.

The court ruled 2-1 that Trump overstepped the tariff power that Congress had allowed the president under the law. The tariffs are “invalid″ and “unauthorized by law,” the majority wrote.

The third judge on the panel found the law allows the president more leeway on tariffs.

If the administration appeals Thursday’s decision, as expected, it would first turn to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, based in Washington, and then, potentially, the Supreme Court."

Trump has found a new way to implement his tariffs after the supreme court struck them down. He's now using "forced labor" as the justification, claiming that almost all US trading partners are benefiting from forced labor

"The US has announced new tariffs of 10-12.5% on dozens of countries (including EU, UK, Canada, India, Japan) accounting for almost all its imports over concerns they are not doing enough to tackle forced labour."

See what president Ronald Reagan said about tariffs in 1987 he was the greatest president of my lifetime.
