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 tariff on most imports exceeded the president's authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The ruling came after the Supreme Court earlier this week declined to hear an emergency appeal from the administration regarding a separate tariff dispute.

The decision blocks the tariffs that Trump had announced in April, which applied to imports from all countries. The court said the tariffs were not justified by a national emergency declaration, as required by law. The administration is expected to appeal the ruling.
