President Donald Trump is facing increasing legal challenges over his decision to implement widespread import tariffs without congressional approval. The tariffs, declared under a national emergency, have resulted in seven lawsuits, as businesses argue he's overstepped his authority.

The US Court of International Trade commenced hearings on these matters. Five businesses claim the emergency is unfounded and economically baseless, urging legal intervention to stop the tariffs that threaten their operations.

The administration cites historical precedent, yet legal experts predict the possibility of the case reaching the Supreme Court. The tariffs have disrupted global markets and burdened American businesses, intensifying the economic strain.
