A major blow to former President Donald Trump's trade policies has been dealt by a federal trade court, which has ruled that his 10% global tariff on imports is unlawful. The decision, which could have significant implications for international trade and the global economy, comes after a long-standing challenge from the US Chamber of Commerce and other business groups. The tariffs, implemented in 2018 as part of a broader trade war with China, were aimed at reducing the US trade deficit and protecting American industries. However, critics argued that the tariffs were excessive and would ultimately harm US consumers and businesses.
