Court of International Trade Signals Skepticism of Trump's Section 122 Global Tariffs After Supreme Court IEEPA Defeat
6d
3
The U.S. Court of International Trade is hearing oral arguments over President Trump's use of Section 122 after he imposed 10% global tariffs following the Supreme Court's Feb. 20, 2026 IEEPA defeat; the tariffs have not been raised to 15% and are set to expire July 24, 2026 unless Congress approves an extension. Judges expressed skepticism that a large trade deficit alone qualifies as the "fundamental international payments problem" Section 122 requires, while DOJ argued the president has broad discretion and cited other indicators, and 24 state attorneys general contend the move unlawfully sidesteps the Supreme Court ruling.
