Days of pressure from fellow Republicans, business executives, and even close friends failed to dissuade Donald Trump. On April 2, 2025—his self-styled “Liberation Day”—the US President insisted: “MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE.” Yet just over a week later, on April 10, Trump backtracked, announcing a three-month pause in his sweeping tariff plan. Even so, his 10% across-the-board tariffs remained in place.Now, a federal court in Manhattan has delivered a far more decisive blow. In an order dated May 28, 2025, the court ruled that the authority to impose such sweeping tariffs does not lie within the powers of the presidency. The judgment directed the Trump administration “to effectuate the permanent injunction” on the matter, marking a significant legal rebuke to his tariff policy.
