The Trump administration’s global tariffs face their first major legal test this week when a little-known Manhattan court considers one of the president’s most sweeping assertions of executive power.
A three-judge panel at the Court of International Trade will hear arguments Tuesday on whether to halt the levies, which have unleashed a trade war with the world and threaten to upend the global economy.
The federal court, which has nationwide jurisdiction over tariff and trade disputes, operates for the most part in obscurity, rarely garnering a mention in major publications and staying off the radar of most attorneys.
“Most lawyers will get out of law school without knowing that it exists,” said Lawrence Friedman, a partner at law firm Barnes, Richardson & Colburn LLP who specializes in litigation at the court.
The court will step into the limelight this week in a lawsuit brought by New York-based wine importer V.O.S. Selections and four other small businesses who say President Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose the tariffs. Other challenges have been filed in the court and in federal district courts around the country, but the V.O.S. case is front and center so far.
Trump unveiled his “Liberation Day” tariffs in early April, placing 10% levies on every nation. He imposed even higher rates on many countries he deemed “bad actors,” but later announced a 90-day pause on those duties. China wasn’t included in the moratorium; instead Trump ratcheted up its tariffs to 145%. The president invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a 1970s-era law known as IEEPA, in imposing the sweeping tariffs, saying trade deficits had hobbled the U.S. economy and created a national emergency.

Is the Court of International Trade mentioned in the Constitution of the United States of America?
Maybe New York-based wine importer V.O.S. wines cost too much the start with ,LOL
If you look at the great tariff disputes of the 19th century, in which the South opposed tariffs while the North supported them, all the debates were in Congress, and Congress set the tariff rates. When the tariffs passed in 1828 it led to the Nullification Crisis.
Ya.
Good luck with that.
🇺🇸Trump
If the court rules that the congress cannot delegate authority to the executive in this case, it opens a huge can of worms. That could be a bigger deal than tariffs.
This is probably the only nation on the planet with a totally corrupt, government run judiciary.
Is there anything that the courts don’t want to control?
5 years , full plenary powers .
Screw the courts and judges
Not bowing down to black robed tyrants.
Who voted for them?
How many regiments do they have?
“If the court rules that the congress cannot delegate authority to the executive in this case, it opens a huge can of worms. That could be a bigger deal than tariffs.”
Even with tariffs, it gets interesting. For example, if a future administration wants punish a country for being White, Christian, Conservative, while protecting children from ‘re-assignment’ and stopping overall moral decay, it won’t be as easy as it now.
But don’t get me wrong, we can still bomb the hell out of the country, like we did to Serbia (or start up huge proxy wars), to make that administration feel better about itself.
Crimes and corruption by the left.
Starting with voter fraud and stolen elections.
Little first grader:
“I don’t wanna be president!!!! I wanna be a JUDGE!!!!!!
Who are the three judges at the Court of International Trade and are they controlled by the Chinese Communist Party ?
Whoops. Meant for starboard.
“traitor Roberts said there’s no such thing as an obama judge or a trump judge, the judges are all just honest to goodness american apple pie patriotic aww shucks wholesome honest and fair non-partisans.”
I’d like to introduce him to Sotomayor.
Why do we elect legislators to create laws which Judges can change? Why do we elect a President to run the government which Judges can modify the President’s orders? Why not just hire more Judges, they can create laws, run the government and don’t forget overturning other Judges’ rulings….. 🤣🤣🤣
The Wall Street Journal is fully globalist. But you likely knew this because you posted it.
