US court says President Trump’s tariffs are not legal

A US court said that President Trump’s new taxes on goods from other countries are not legal. Many people and businesses in the US do not like these taxes. They say the taxes make things more expensive and hurt small businesses. The court also said that only Congress can make big changes to trade rules, not the president alone.

President Trump wanted to use these taxes to make better deals with other countries. But the court said this is not a good reason to use these powers. Some countries, like Japan and countries in Europe, are now waiting to see what the US will do next. Many US shops and companies are worried because the taxes make it hard for them to do business.

Now, the White House must decide what to do. They can try to ask Congress to help, but this will be very difficult. Other countries will wait and see what happens. For now, many people think the US will not use these new taxes.
