Federal court blocks Trump's tariffs; Harvard in his crosshairs
In this episode of Global News Today, presented by Tom Burges Watson, we focus on a significant legal blow to US President Donald Trump, as a federal court strikes down most of his sweeping tariffs. The Court of International Trade ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority, delivering a setback to his trade agenda and lifting global financial markets. We explore what this ruling could mean for US policy and international trade. We also examine the escalating clash between Harvard University and Trump, who has made the institution a centerpiece of his campaign against elite universities. Trump has threatened funding cuts and action against foreign students, accusing Harvard of liberal bias and antisemitism.
