Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent believes it was “highly inappropriate” for the courts to block President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs when the Republican-led Senate didn’t.

The U.S. Court of International Trade blocked Trump’s tariffs on Wednesday, saying he didn’t have the authority to impose them using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. They have been reinstated by an appeals court for now.
