Trump's latest round of tariffs faces legal challenges in US trade court

The Trump administration's latest round of global tariffs faces legal challenge in the US Court of International Trade. The Supreme Court previously ruled Trump could not use an emergency statute to impose tariffs, and the administration is now relying on a different legal basis. The court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, September 30, 2026.
