The US Court of International Trade ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority by instituting reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners. MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire suggested this ruling could be an "off-ramp" for Trump to back off his unpopular trade war policies, but co-host Joe Scarborough stated that Trump doesn't plan to alter course and has been saying he would implement tariffs since 1987.

The decision came in two lawsuits filed by the Liberty Justice Center on behalf of five small businesses and 13 US states, including Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield. The companies, such as a New York wine importer and a Virginia-based maker of educational kits, claim the tariffs will harm their business. Trump has claimed broad authority to set tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), but the Justice Department says private businesses cannot challenge a national emergency declared by the president.

The ruling is a setback for Trump's foreign policy agenda, as it limits his ability to unilaterally levy tariffs. The White House has filed an appeal and claims that tariffs are necessary to address America's trade deficits, which have fueled by nonreciprocal treatment from other countries.

The tariffs were intended to force manufacturers to bring back jobs and reduce federal budget deficits, but a White House spokesperson argued that trade deficits are a national emergency affecting American communities and defense industrial base.

In response, the Trump administration filed an appeal, sparking a market rally as investors reacted to a potential reprieve for global trade. The dollar surged against major currencies, including the yen and franc, while the euro and sterling fell. This knee-jerk reaction was attributed to investor confidence in US assets being eroded by President Trump's tariffs, leading to a nearly 8% decline in the dollar this year.

This assessment contrasts with Trump's previous phone call with Putin, where he believed Russia wanted to end the war. The US and Ukraine are awaiting a second round of direct talks with Russia in Istanbul next week, as Moscow has developed a memo outlining its position on the conflict.
