The US Court of International Trade has ruled against President Donald Trump’s 10 percent global tariffs, in what is a fresh blow after the Supreme Court overturned a slew of levies in February.

The order, issued on Thursday, prevents the tariffs from being enforced against only two firms and Washington for the time being.

Trump imposed the temporary 10% tariff in February and increased it to 15% shortly after the Supreme Court rejected most of his global tariffs.

The tariffs were set to expire on July 24.

In a 2-1 ruling, the court found that the most recent duty was not justified under the 1970s law stated in its implementation.

The two judges ruled that the tariffs were “invalid” and “unauthorised by law.”

The Trump administration can challenge the court’s judgment, first to the court of appeals and then, possibly, to the Supreme Court again.

When asked about the court judgment, Trump criticized it, blaming it on “two radical left judges.”

“So, nothing surprises me with the courts. Nothing surprises me,” he said in Washington.

“We get one ruling and we do it a different way.”

The Trump administration is already making efforts to replace the tariffs that were overturned by the Supreme Court earlier this year, undertaking two investigations that might result in more tariffs.

The US Trade Representative’s office is investigating whether 16 US trading partners, including China, the European Union (EU), and Japan, are overproducing goods, lowering prices and undercutting US manufacturers.

It is also looking at whether the 60 economies that account for 99 percent of US imports, including Nigeria, are doing enough to restrict the trafficking of products made by forced labour.
