Trade Court Blocks Trump's 10% Tariffs for Two Businesses and Washington State Only

Story Summary

On May 8, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that President Trump's 10% global tariffs violated the Trade Act of 1974, blocking them solely for toy maker Basic Fun!, spice importer Burlap & Barrel, and Washington State. While the court rejected broader injunction requests due to lack of standing among other plaintiffs, the tariffs remain active for remaining importers pending further appeals.
