Trump’s Latest Tariff Setback Looms Over China Trade Talks

President Trump’s tariff agenda suffered another legal setback as a court ruling limits the scope of executive tariff authority. The decision casts uncertainty over upcoming US-China trade negotiations, potentially reshaping the balance of power in trade policy.

Investors are closely watching whether the US government will appeal the ruling and how this legal challenge will impact the timeline for upcoming trade talks.
