[Augusta]

U.S. trade court has blocked most of US President Donald Trump's tariffs in a sweeping ruling that found the president overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from U.S. trading partners.

The Court of International Trade said the U.S. Constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries that is not overridden by the president's emergency powers to safeguard the U.S. economy.

"The court does not pass upon the wisdom or likely effectiveness of the President's use of tariffs as leverage," a three-judge panel said in the decision to issue a permanent injunction on the blanket tariff orders issued by Trump since January.

One of the beautiful thing about their politics over there, unlike some places were the president has all the authority.

United States is where democracy works as it suppose. When will we experience such level of democracy in my country? In Nigeria, the president have overriding authority over all other arms of government in a democratic setting.
