According to CNBC, this document indicates that the tariff orders issued are beyond the President’s authority as granted under the IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act), because they exceed the limits for regulating imports via tariffs.

Immediately after the verdict, the Trump Administration chose to challenge it in the U.S. Court of Appeals.
