For those who do not support Trump's tariff war, this is great news because the US trade court has blocked Trump's aggressive actions. But as far as I know, the US trade court is only considered a lower federal court, which means they can block Trump's tariff order. But they won't have sole discretion on that issue, Trump could appeal to the US Supreme Court to overturn the decision. And he will certainly do so soon, so we should not rejoice until the Supreme Court makes its final decision.

You are right about Trump having the freedom to approach the Supreme Court to repeal this judgement but until then let there be some calmness in the economy because these tariffs are beginning to lose their effect as most people no longer fear them instead they respond with counter tariff and turn the whole thing to a joke. slamming tariff on everyone in an undiplomatic way will only make things worse for the average American consumer no matter the long term benefit it holds. This judgement is an opportunity for Trump and his team to work out a strategy with which they can negotiate fair deals with other nations instead of thinking that unilateral tariff hikes is obtainable in this age and time.
