            "description": "<![CDATA[A federal appeals court has ruled 7-4 that the majority of President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs are illegal, stating that he exceeded his authority when imposing the levies. According to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the tariffs, which were initially imposed under Trump\u2019s executive orders, violated the limits set by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The court\u2019s decision comes with a catch: the tariffs will remain in effect until October 14, allowing the administration time to appeal the ruling directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.]]>",
