On May 29, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs, ruling he exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Trump administration argued the tariffs were vital for foreign policy, claiming they facilitated the May 10 India-Pakistan ceasefire by offering both nations U.S. trading access to avert full-scale war. Commerce Secretary Howard W. Lutnick warned that limiting presidential power could destabilize the region. However, India rejected the U.S.'s claimed role, stating the ceasefire resulted from direct military talks. The court emphasized it does not assess the effectiveness of using tariffs as leverage.
