WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is hailing a favorable decision by a federal appeals court over his sweeping tariff policy as a “great” win for the United States. Trump said Wednesday on his social media site the court’s decision means the U.S. “can use TARIFFS to protect itself against other countries.” Trump calls it “A great and important win for the U.S.” The Tuesday court ruling allows the government to continue collecting the sweeping import taxes the Republican president has imposed on other countries while challenges to his signature trade policy continue on appeal. Several lawsuits argue Trump’s tariffs exceed his authority and leave U.S. trade policy dependent on his whims.
