Canada is welcoming a court ruling that blocked U.S. President Donald  Trump’s tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday. “The government welcomes yesterday’s decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade, which is consistent with Canada’s longstanding position that the U.S. IEEPA tariffs were unlawful as well as unjustified,” Carney told the House of Commons.Carney’s comments come after a three-judge panel blocked some of Trump’s signature policies, including the fentanyl and border security-related tariffs on Canada and Mexico.

Instead, the court ruled, that power resides with Congress. It also extended this ruling to previous tariffs levied earlier this year on Canada, Mexico and…
